Go bindings fail to compile on Windows because of incorrect Make target name

[dharmab]

Makefile for Go bindings has a hardcoded libwhisper.a, however on Windows this object (and target) is named whisper.a

Problematic line

Workaround: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/commit/810260fb2bae3ae7f5be54a95bc8c66b6d19a474

It's kind of fragile, it'll probably break if the Makefile target changes again. I ended up having to rename the file back to libwhisper.a afterwards to make it play nice with ld on MSYS2 🙃
