- Test all GOOS/GOARCH combinations by looping over "go tool dist list";
this just tests if it compiles.
- Add a Vagrant box to test Debian 6 / Linux 2.6.32; this was adapted
from @horahoradev's patch at #434.
- Update the minimum version requirements: we test Linux 2.6.32 now and
turns out that's also the minimum version [Go supports] in recent
releases, so just set it to that.
Need Go 1.16 for retract in go.mod. I don't know, maybe we can just
remove the retract? Latest Debian ships with Go 1.15.
[Go supports]: golang/go#45964
- Test both Go 1.16 and 1.18 (the lowest supported version and newest
version). I guess we could also test 1.17, but the CI already takes
somewhat long and I can't recall ever having a situation where an
intermediate version failed.
- Test macOS 11 and 12; macOS 10.15 will (probably) end support in
November, so probably not worth supporting this. GitHub will [remove]
support for this at the end of August.

- Test OpenBSD, NetBSD.
- Move "lint" to its own YAML file.
Future work:
- Actually run tests for all systems Go supports. Bit pointless right
now as many of these don't do anything. Currently untested are
Solaris, illumios, plan9, AIX, Android, iOS, DragonflyBSD, WASM.
Some of these might be difficult (AIX, iOS, Android), but haven't
looked in to it. I tried setting up Solaris with the
vmactions/solaris, but it doesn't seem to have an easy way to install
Go.
- GitHub only [supports] Windows Server 2019 and 2022; probabably also
want to test Server 2016, but GitHub dropped support for this. Can
maybe use AppVeyor(?)

- Could maybe test older versions of BSD, too. Not sure of it's worth
it.
