Release notes: https://golang.org/doc/go1.16

The latest Go release, version 1.16, arrives six months after Go 1.15. Most of
its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.

The linker changes in 1.16 extend the 1.15 improvements to all supported
architecture/OS combinations (the 1.15 performance improvements were primarily
focused on ELF-based OSes and amd64 architectures). For a representative set of
large Go programs, linking is 20-25% faster than 1.15 and requires 5-15% less
memory on average for linux/amd64, with larger improvements for other
architectures and OSes. Most binaries are also smaller as a result of more
aggressive symbol pruning.
