Older versions drop out of support and don't need to be tested anymore.

- Implement Man or Boy program: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Man_or_boy_test#Go and test the `go build`, `go run` and directly running the binary
## AC
1. Both supported versions of Golang are tested within the same test module
2. The mechanism to test both versions is not tied to the code but rather variables, since there are two Golang releases per year (Or the mechanism is easy enough that the modification of it can either be automated, or takes little time
