This change introduces a mechanism to automatically resolve and install the required Go bootstrap versions when installing from source. Key changes: - Added scripts/function/gvm_bootstrap to handle version mapping and compatibility checks. - Updated scripts/install to automatically ensure a compatible bootstrap version is present before compilation. - Updated README.md to reflect that manual bootstrapping is no longer required. This allows installing any version of Go (including master) on a clean system with only standard build tools (gcc, make, etc.) installed.

This PR automates the Go bootstrapping process. When installing a version from source, GVM now automatically identifies, downloads (as binary), and configures the necessary bootstrap Go version if one isn't already available. This removes the manual requirement to install Go 1.4 or other intermediate versions first.
