Fix a performance regression #995 (#998)

* Support go workspaces when detecting the go version.

When a module is part of a workspace, a call to `go list -m` lists all
modules in the workspace, and we need to parse multiple modinfos.

* Do not invoke `go list` for every package.

* Add a go language version override config option for golangci-lint.
