Description

The initial implementation produces Docker images for 1.15 and 1.16. We should also produce images for microsoft/main so our users can easily try new features before they end up in a stable release branch.

The upstream golang image repo doesn't provide images for a new version until e.g. 1.17-rc, so we might need to be ahead of upstream on figuring out Docker + Go issues in order to maintain this properly.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing implementation that produces the 1.15 and 1.16 Docker images, then compare it with the upstream golang image repository and the microsoft/main branch. Done means reproducible Docker images for microsoft/main, with Docker and Go compatibility concerns addressed while preserving the existing stable image builds.
