[pkg-go] dependency chain of hell

Hey all,

I was just trying to debug a build failure of prometheus in armel, and
realised that the build-deps are not installable any more, due to autorm.

At the end of the neverending string of dependencies, I see that
golang-x-tools now depends of nodejs, which has an unresolved circular
dependency in that arch..

Can we do something about this package to remove all this shite? For
starters, we should probably separate the libraries from the binaries,
that would solve many of our current issues.

The arch support for most of our packages is spotty at best, we need to
do something if we want to ship something reasonable with stretch.

I am really starting to lose hope.. This is really exhausting :(
