New features

gomock rule is officially supported in rules_go (doc), replacing the original jmhodges/bazel_gomock repository. Thanks to @jmhodges for the original implementation.

Updated dependencies

them in WORKSPACE before calling go_rules_dependencies. Lower versions may
work but are not supported.

org_golang_x_sys, org_golang_x_xerrors, org_golang_google_genproto and go_googleapis updated to master, as of 2022-05-09
