bug#63019: restic is nine versions out of date

[Kyle Andrews]

Dear Guix,

I rely on restic for my long-term backup solution and it worries me that the 
version currently provided by Guix is so ancient. Restic 0.9.6 was released in 
2019 and there have been 9 major updates since then. I'm particularly 
interested in the compression support added in restic 0.14.0, but there are 
many other bug fixes and improvements which have been added. The latest release 
from January of this year is 0.15.1.

There was a recent appeal for help on the help-guix mailing list:

=> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2023-03/msg00117.html

I'm filing this bug report since I'm worried that the people who are most 
knowledge about Go in Guix might not check that mailing list as frequently. 

Cheers,
Kyle
