Description

Description:
Add a github problem matcher to match go test ./... output, matching any go test failures.

Justification:
I would like to be able to see test failures inline in the PR files view, just like how go lints will show up.

Exercise it against go test ./... output; the work is done when Go test failures appear inline in the PR files view alongside existing lint findings.
