Find use of weak cryptographic algorithms in Go

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.golang.security.search.FindWeakCryptoAlgorithm
Artifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-security

Finds Go calls into crypto/md5, crypto/sha1, crypto/des, and crypto/rc4. These algorithms are cryptographically broken and should not be used for security-sensitive purposes such as hashing passwords, generating signatures, or encrypting data. Prefer SHA-256 or stronger (crypto/sha256, crypto/sha512) and AES (crypto/aes).
