[Docker-maint] Bug#748290: golang upstream moved their downloads list

Package: golang
Severity: minor

Upstream has stopped using https://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/list
and they've switched to a wiki page at
https://code.google.com/p/go/wiki/Downloads.

I'm including a patch inline here to update debian/watch to source from
the new page instead so that we don't get bit by this at the next source
update.  It's also worth noting that they don't list previous releases
there, so the next update will likely either have to be 1.2.2 or 1.3~ if
you don't want to reuse the old orig tar.gz (which obviously is still
valid).

It's also interesting to note that their new "storage.googleapis.com"
site doesn't even include the old versions (ie,
https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.2.1.src.tar.gz is a 404).
