gimme stable does not work for latest Go (v1.21.0)

[psx95]

Running gimme stable now results in the following output -

/tmp/bin/gimme stable 
I don't have any idea what to do with '1.21.0
time 2023-08-04T20:14:06Z'.
  (using download type 'auto')

It seems like the timestamp is being added to the Go version string which is why the version is not found and the command fails. Pinning the version number is a workaround for now.

gimme 1.21.0

I created a fix, but the maintainer is not responding 😢
#209

In Funtoo Linux I have been able to reproduce this bug as well when attempting to compile the new kubectl-1.28.0 (which contains the affected gimme version of v1.5.4): https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-11522

>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/kubectl-1.28.0/work/kubectl-1.28.0 ...
make -j15 -j1 GOFLAGS= GOLDFLAGS= LDFLAGS= WHAT=cmd/kubectl
I don't have any idea what to do with '1.20.7'.

I upvoted the PR, not sure if it would help though. Last release for this repo was over an year ago so not sure if it is still being maintained.

@YOwatari your PR's build failed here and here:

---> eval $(GIMME_OS=linux GIMME_ARCH=arm ./gimme master)
I don't have any idea what to do with 'master'.

Maybe they will merge your PR if you make the build pass

[YOwatari]

The test fails regardless of my patch.
Maybe there is no maintainer and no one has seen it.

[YOwatari]

I made some additional fixes so that the test would pass. :)

Awesome work @YOwatari - I know it was a separate issue that was keeping those tests from passing, and thank you for taking the time to bring Gimme into 2023.

I sent Travis an email at [email protected] - maybe if you all do the same, they will take some responsibility for their software and we can get this PR merged.
