Checksum verification

golang/install downloads go binaries from https://go.dev/dl/. Most downloads include a sha256 checksum that is verified. However, some downloads of older go versions include only a sha1 checksum, that is not made available via the API that golang/install uses. For such downloads, checksum verification is skipped.
