This libgo patch add riscv and js/wasm as known targets. This incorporates cut down versions of https://golang.org/cl/102835 and https://golang.org/cl/106256 from the master sources. This will tell the go/build to skip files with those tags. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.

I don't know anything about Go, but we've generally been calling the RISC-V architectures "riscv32" and "riscv64" as opposed to "riscv" and "riscv64", with the idea being that it's a bit more explicit. Technically, RISC-V is the name of a family of ISAs, with "RV32I" and "RV64I" being two base ISAs so this also matches the ISA's naming scheme.
Obviously this isn't a big deal, I just saw the patch go by and thought I'd bring it up.
