[pkg-go] salsa: moving -guests to developer

Hello,

Currently, *-guest users in salsa.debian.org/go-team have "Master"
permissions. I would like to change that to "developer".

The only group-level permission difference between "Master" and
"Developer" on gitlab is:
 - "Create project in group" (this is originally why I gave them Master
access)

Project-level differences include:
 - pushing to protected branches (they need this!)
 - Edit project (and all project settings)

Remarks:
 - *-guests users should use dh-make-golang to create projects. They
shouldn't require the "create project in group" permission.

 - *-guest users should be able to push to protected branches

We can allow developers to push to protected branches. This is
configurable. When you protect a branch, you may allow "developers" to
push to it.

I reconfigured all of our protected branches to allow pushes from
developers.

I sent a merge request to go-team/ci to allow developers to push on
protected branches:
 - https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/ci/merge_requests/1

This will have the following benefits:
 - *-guest users will no longer be able to **force push** to important
branches. This will protect our repositories from mass destruction by a
guest, but they still can work on repositories as usual.

 - *-guest users will now be forced to use dh-make-golang to create
repositories. This is nice because some of them currently create
repositories manually without the team-wide config, as they don't know
our tools very well yet.

When/if my merge request on go-team/ci is merged, I will change all
guest users permissions to "developer".

What do you think?

cc-ing Michael because he will need to rebuild and deploy the server
component of dh-make-golang if this goes trough.

Cheers,
