[pkg-go] Bug#803388: Bug#803388: golang-gopkg-mgo.v2-dev: over-aggressive depends

[Alexandre Viau]

Hello Tianon,

Feel free to make a team upload.

Supervisor was in the dependencies as it is needed for tests, but it
should be in Build-Deps. Since we are not running tests, you should
just remove it, or maybe put it in comments in Build-Deps. The same
thing goes for mongodb-server.

This also prevented InfluxDB from building on arm64 and armel I think,
so that will be a good thing to solve.

Cheers,
