Add a package for go116-1.16.beta1.
Normally, we would not package beta versions, except maybe in pkgsrc-wip. This is different though, since 1.16.beta1 is the first Go version supporting macOS on Apple Silicon. Discussion about this was on tech-pkg@.

+The Go programming language is an open source project to make
+programmers more productive.
+
+Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency
+mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of
+multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables
+flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to
+machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power
+of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language
+that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
+
+NOTE: THIS IS A BETA RELEASE. It is provided as part of pkgsrc to support
+macOS on Apple Silicon (Darwin/aarch64) only.
