staticcheck installation fails with go1.16

[elulcao]

Installing staticcheck@latest with go1.16 failed due to builder.go:36:2: //go:build comment without // +build

Why the go:build error at line 36, any problem with old Go versions?

go-tools/go/ir/builder.go

Line 36 in d694aad

Go 1.16 is EOL. See https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle#release-maintenance.

[dominikh]

Releases support the current and previous version of Go at the time of release. The master branch supports the current version of Go.

For 2022.1 that means it supports Go 1.17 and 1.18.
