#65597: go: reduce install footprint

Port: go |

Comment (by herbygillot):
Go is a "batteries-included" programming platform, and everything you've
listed is needed.
If you download the *official* installer package from https://go.dev, you
will see that it contains the same, installing everything, including
source, tests, and the contents of 'pkg'.
Attempting to mess with the package contents, or trying to partition
certain pieces off into separate ports will result in a very bad
experience for Go users using MacPorts as compared to other packaging
environments, and may even cause Go to fail and malfunction for a sizable
number of standard use cases.
Users expect to just install `go` and see that everything is available and
just works.
