how to make go-linux-arm64-bootstrap.tbz

We have go-linux-arm64-bootstrap.tbz in Dockerfile but it's not in the repo. You can make it yourself by doing the following steps on x86_64 platform:

# curl https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar -v -C /tmp/old-go -xz --strip-components=1
# mkdir ~/go
# curl -k https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.2.src.tar.gz | tar -v -C ~/go -xz --strip-components=1
# cd ~/go/src
# GOOS=linux GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/tmp/old-go GOARCH=arm64 ./bootstrap.bash

Then go-linux-arm64-bootstrap.tbz will be generated in ~/., you can copy it to aarch64 platform, and make the Dockerfile works.

Note: You can get more information about go installation from here.
