Update go to v1.7.5 (#3023)

Update the go package to v1.7.5.

- This release no longer needs the time-test patch (it's been merged upstream).
- This release still seems to need the cgo-testcshared patch.
- Also add a comment about environment set up that I need to build it successfully on a very large server.

Tested on CentOS 7.
