singularity bundled the source code of the go toolchain out of necessity 
because there was a serious golang security vulnerability fixed in 1.16.12, and 
epel7 was providing only a golang 1.15 version despite my urgent pleas for an 
upgrade.  I have now become the provider of golang on epel7 and as of Friday it 
is updated to 1.16.12, so the bundling can be removed from future releases of 
singularity (if there are any) and apptainer.
