tinygo installer that is multi version and multi os.

[gedw99]

I have been using gobrew, because it flips the version of golang installed, based on the go.mod version.

https://github.com/kevincobain2000/gobrew

Its pretty solid and has a json file that maps the version wanted, and where the compiled version lives, and so knows where to download and install golang from.

It stores the golang binaries in a file cache, so that is can flip quickly.

Its easy to run both normal golang and use gobrew side by side too.

So I was thinking how cool it might be to have a tiny brew.

It will make it easy to install for very OS, and allows for automation.

All the other installers for tinygo ( scoop, make, etc tc ) can stay the same, because all gobrew does is to be a layer on top.

Basic makefile I use to control it.
