Add `go install` and `go build` commands

[ironcladlou]

Requirement extracted from discussion at #134 (comment). Also covered previously in #21.

I think it does make sense to go ahead with adding a Go: Install command to the extension whcih behaves similarly to the existing Go: Run tests commands.

I think it's okay for this to be fully separate from the diagnostic reporting and build-on-save.

The one place they should overlap is in reusing the go.buildFlags settings.

The big question is how to scope this. I can imagine either:

Run go install ./... in ${workspaceRoot}
Run go install in the directory of the currently opened file
For advanced uses, I'm okay with saying that folks should use VS Code Tasks. So I think this should try to cover the most common 80% for folks who don't want/need to set up the task.

Why not mirror this functionality from the golang team plugin for sublime?

@vastbinderj Sounds like a good idea.

How about adding a new default task runner for Go ? when I execute the build command and I don't have tasks configured there is a menu that displays an number of task runners, why not add a default task runner for Go in that list ? Or can the plugin install a new default task runner ?

Also "go run" is being ignored in this issue, it's so useful while developing scripts to test them on the fly. I'd appreciate adding it so much.
