As we discussed live during the meeting, I'd like to see the following
changes in this series:

 - The patch renaming BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS to
   BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS should go first in the
   series, and should contain all the changes to the packages as well
   (to not break bisectability). Of course, it should also contain the
   BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS change.

 - The patch adding support for host go packages should add a
   BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_HOST_ARCH_SUPPORTS option, and the manual should
   be updated to explain how this option should be used.

 - There should be a comment above both options in the Config.in.host
   file to explain which option should be used for what.

 - BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_SUPPORTS should be removed.

Thanks!

Thomas
