Publishing go-extension

Each change on master triggers a build on travis against Theia next. The resulting package is automatically published to as @theia/go:next.

For a release (or when Theia releases a new major), we have to build against Theia latest. To achieve that

rm yarn.lock               # make sure to re-install deps
sh theia-version.sh latest # set all dependencies to Theia to 'latest'
yarn                       # rebuild (don't forget!)
yarn run publish:latest    # publish
rm yarn.lock               # make sure to re-install deps
sh theia-version.sh next   # reset Theia dependencies to 'next'
yarn                       # make sure yarn-lock is reset to 'next'
git add -A
git commit -m 'Bumped version number'
