Add versioned package for 1.25 to enable having multiple host go versions side by side. Set default version to 1.25 in golang-values.mk Add unversioned dummy package to allow go-based packages to continue using the default go version. Signed-off-by: George Sapkin <george@sapk.in>
Move version definition to a helper file so multiple versions can be easily defined using it. Target go is installed through alternatives with the default version having higher priority. Newer versions can reuse older ones as bootstraps by setting BOOTSTRAP_VERSION_ID package variable to older version, e.g.: BOOTSTRAP_VERSION_ID:=1.24 All subpackages provide suffix-less names, e.g. golang, golang-src, etc. Default versions are marked as default variants.

Description:
Split bootstrap into a new package to enable multiple versions of go to reuse the same bootstrap.
Add versioned package for 1.25 to enable having multiple host go versions side by side and set it as the default version in
golang-values.mk.Add unversioned dummy package to allow go-based packages to continue using the default go version.
Move version definition to a helper file so multiple versions can be easily defined using it. Target go is installed through alternatives with the default version having higher priority.
Newer versions can reuse older ones as bootstraps by setting
BOOTSTRAP_VERSION_IDpackage variable to older version, e.g.:BOOTSTRAP_VERSION_ID:=1.24All subpackages provide suffix-less names, e.g. golang, golang-src, etc. Default versions are marked as default variants.
Add an example golang 1.23 and switch AdGuard Home, ctop and Syncthing to different version Go to demonstrate the behavior of the new buildsystem. These commits are meant to be dropped.
Add more source mirrors.
Add SPDX license identifiers.

There's an issue with apk, alternatives and virtual provides, so this depends on (i.e. build will fail before that):

Several target version can be installed side-by-side with the default having the highest alternatives priority:
