godeb ARM compatibility

Using a Scaleway C1 server, this would be useful.

So far the workaround for apt seems to be:

apt-get install -y golang git-core mercurial bzr
go get gopkg.in/niemeyer/godeb.v1/cmd/godeb
# or
go get github.com/niemeyer/godeb

However the first version returns:

error: no downloads available at https://code.google.com/p/go/downloads/list?can=1&q=linux

and the second one returns:

Sorry for spamming. I found this useful resource: http://dave.cheney.net/unofficial-arm-tarballs

I don't think many changes are needed to make this happen. My Raspberry Pi 4 (armv7l) reports build.Default.GOARCH as "arm".

$ cat arch.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"go/build"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("arch", build.Default.GOARCH)
}

$ go run arch.go
arch arm
$ uname -m
armv7l

I used this info to change main.go and deb.go and was able to have godeb generate and install a valid *.deb file for Raspbian on the Pi 4. In deb.go I updated the debArch function:

func debArch() string {
	arch := build.Default.GOARCH
	if arch == "386" {
		return "i386"
	}
	if arch == "arm" {
		return "armhf"
	}
	return arch
}

And also updated main.go's tarball function:

var tbs []*Tarball
for _, v := range versions {
	for _, f := range v.Files {
		if f.Os == build.Default.GOOS && (f.Arch == build.Default.GOARCH ||
			(build.Default.GOARCH == "arm" && f.Arch == "armv6l")) {
			t := Tarball{
				Version: strings.TrimPrefix(f.Version, "go"),
				URL:     downloadBaseURL + f.Filename}
			tbs = append(tbs, &t)
			break
		}
	}
}

It's probably not the best solution, but it works for me. Thoughts?
