This libgo patch add riscv and js/wasm as known targets.  This
incorporates cut down versions of https://golang.org/cl/102835 and
https://golang.org/cl/106256 from the master sources.  This will tell
the go/build to skip files with those tags.  Bootstrapped and ran Go
testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.

I don't know anything about Go, but we've generally been calling the RISC-V
architectures "riscv32" and "riscv64" as opposed to "riscv" and "riscv64",
with the idea being that it's a bit more explicit.  Technically, RISC-V is
the name of a family of ISAs, with "RV32I" and "RV64I" being two base ISAs
so this also matches the ISA's naming scheme.

Obviously this isn't a big deal, I just saw the patch go by and thought I'd
bring it up.

Thanks.  This is just copying the master sources for the library, at
https://go.googlesource.com/go/+/master/src/go/build/syslist.go .

The naming scheme used here--riscv and riscv64--is pretty conventional for Go.

Ya, it looks like that's what everyone else is doing so I don't see any reason to mess with it.
