dh-make-golang v0.7.0 release

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Use new dh-sequence-golang instead of dh-golang and --with=golang

  * Add mongodb to known hosts.
    This is required by the go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver modules.

  * Generate a debian/.gitignore file.
    This helps ignoring artifacts that git should not track, and which it
    can safely clean.

  * Reorder generated fields.

    While stylistic, the rationale for these changes is as follows:

    = debian/control

    - Group Section and Priority together as these categorize the package,
      and place them after Source or Package fields, as this determines
      where in the archive these might end up.
    - Place Maintainer/Uploader after these, as the responsible party for
      the package.
    - Move Rules-Requires-Root before Build-Depends, as this determines
      how to drive the building process, and might impose additional
      dependencies, such as fakeroot or sudo.
    - Move the Testsuite after the Build-Depends, as this is part of the
      runnable metadata.

    = debian/copyright

    - Move the Source field after Format, as both line up, refer to an
      URL, and it's the first reference to the upstream project.

  * Set a Section: TODO field for program packages.
    The golang section is for Go development packages, the fact that a
    program is written in Go is generally of no major relevance for the
    user, and instead a more suitable section relative to its actual
    functionality should be used, to help a proper categorization in the
    archive.

  [ dependabot ]
  * Bump github.com/mattn/go-isatty from 0.0.13 to 0.0.14

  [ Taavi Väänänen ]
  * make: download tarballs from sr.ht
    and add a test for the tarball URL generation.

  [ Anthony Fok ]
  * Bump glamour requirement to get bluemonday v1.0.16
  * Fix empty tarball in case of "unsupported hoster".
    This fixes the error that I introduced on 2021-08-26 in commit 64dccd7
    "Refactor the logic on whether to download upstream tarball"
    Thanks to @mdosch for the report and @creekorful for tips on error handling.
    Fixes #180, fixes #190 (Closes: #993703, #1064567)
  * Handle salsa.debian.org too in tarballFromHoster()
    to fetch pristine tarball (.gz) instead of compressing our own (.xz)
  * Set u.remote as "salsa" instead of "debian" for salsa.debian.org
    to avoid git remote and git branch containing the same "debian" name
  * Add modernc.org as "modernc" to knownHosts
  * Use https for Apache license link
  * Create dependabot.yml
  * Update .github/workflows/ci-test.yml to test with go1.18
  * Replace deprecated ioutil functions with their io or os equilvalents
  * Add --no-show-signature to "git log --pretty=format:%ct -n1" call
    so the timestamp can be read correctly even if the user has set
    log.showSignature to true in git config.
    Closes: #1035321
  * Bump dependencies:
    - Bump go from 1.16 to 1.21
    - Bump golang.org/x/net from v0.0.0-20210614182718-04defd469f4e to v0.21.0
    - Bump golang.org/x/mod from v0.5.1 to v0.15.0
    - Bump github.com/google/go-github/v38 to github.com/google/go-github/v60
    - Add golang.org/x/tools/go/vcs v0.1.0-deprecated
    - etc.
    Fixes #200, fixes #203
  * ci-test: Bump go version to 1.21 and 1.22 for testing
  * make: Unset GO111MODULE=off so that "go list" works with Go 1.21+.
    This fixes dh-make-golang’s failure to determine dependencies
    since 2023-08-21 when Go 1.21 became the default in Debian.
    Closes: #1050523

  [ Maytham Alsudany ]
  * Bump template Standards-Version to 4.6.2

  [ Reinhard Tartler ]
  * Tolerate "errornous" packages in go list
