feat(buildGo): Add 'overrideGo' argument overriding function
This makes it possible to override arguments to the Go builders
downstream in the style of `overrideAttrs` from standard nixpkgs
derivations.

For example, given a Nix value `foo` that builds a binary called `foo`
the name of this binary could be changed and a new dependency on
`somelib` added like so:

    foo.overrideGo(old: {
      name = "bar";
      deps = old.deps ++ [ somelib ];
    })
