Go 1.16.4 and Go 1.15.12 versions are released

Golang team at Google released Go 1.16.4 and Go 1.15.12 versions.

As part of this releases, Go Language team addressed a security fix according to the new security ploicy. #44918

And also it fixes the issue #45710 reported by Guido Vranken as part of Ethereum 2.0 bounty program.

ReadRequest and ReadResponse in net/http can hit an unrecoverable panic when reading a very large header (over 7MB on 64-bit architectures, or over 4MB on 32-bit ones).

Transport and Client are vulnerable and the program can be made to crash by a malicious server.

Server is not vulnerable by default, but can be if the default max header of 1MB is overridden by setting Server.MaxHeaderBytes to a higher value, in which case the program can be made to crash by a malicious client.

This also affects golang.org/x/net/http2/h2c and HeaderValuesContainsToken in golang.org/x/net/http/httpguts, and is fixed in golang.org/x/net@v0.0.0-20210428140749-89ef3d95e781.
