[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] pkg-golang: add strip, asmflags, gcflags support

[Christian Stewart]

Adding package-level variables to set asmflags, gcflags.

Conditionally sets ldflags -s -w when buildroot is configured to strip binaries.

I see that you added trimpath here, which is useful for removing the
build path from the binaries, (and having reproducible builds), but it
isn't mentionned in the commit message.

As a sidenote, it seems that this option is broken when building a
package with go modules:

Yes, I had originally intended for this to be a separate commit, but the
functionality works as intended and I am happy to keep it as part of
this commmit.

There will never be a Buildroot core package with Go modules in use nor
enabled, as this would imply a separate network resource fetching
mechanism from the core Buildroot tarball download + hash cycle.

Even so, the option would then not break the build, but would merely
fail to trim the paths in the output binary.

Best,
Christian
