extension does not eager load when workspace contains .go files

[theryansmith]

The extension does not load on activationEvent ""workspaceContains:**/.go"

This means users loading a workspace containing go files need to open a .go file, or run specific go commands before they can build the workspace.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. close all vscode instances
2. open a workspace that has .go files, ensure that the default state does not focus on a .go code file
3. try to ctrl-shift-p->"Go: Build Workspace"
4. Notice that it fails because the extension is not loaded

Possible solution: Modify package.json to include the workspaceContains event:
"activationEvents": [
"workspaceContains:**/.go",
"onLanguage:go",
"onCommand:go.gopath",
"onCommand:go.tools.install",
"onDebugResolve:go"
],

Sorry @aykejriw
There was an open PR for this in (#2859) that I just now approved and merged

The latest version of this extension (0.12.0) has this feature now.

Thanks to @theryansmith for reporting and to @zmb3 for the PR :)

Happy Coding!
