Where is a howto to upgrade/install golang 1.17 on an RasPi?

1.15 is the latest version in Bullseye, so you have to add the backports repository to the list of repositories, do "apt update", and then find the name of 1.17 package(s) to use "apt install".
I'm normally 100% in favor of installing from repositories, but as
someone who's been writing Go since 2010 (there were Makefiles back
then...) I strongly recommend just grabbing the arm64 tarball off of golang.org, unpacking it in /usr/local, and adding /usr/local/go/bin to
your $PATH. Upgrades are easy and can be done on your schedule, not the packager's.
