Support the way to ignore Go compatibility matrix validation #5075
Description
Currently, I use Go nightly which means that Go is built from source. Here is the version which I use.
go version
go version go1.26-devel_7c8166d02d Tue Sep 30 07:38:03 2025 -0700 darwin/arm64
And then, Thought I attempted to use https://github.com/sago35/tinygo.vim/tree/main to study TinyGo, tinygo.vim threw an error that Go version is not supported since the version is in compatibility matrix.
tinygo info -json -target wioterminal
requires go version 1.19 through 1.25, got go1.26

I know you're keeping the rule to support range of Go version, but I want the way to use TinyGo. So I propose the new flag to ignore the version.
If it's accepted, I think it's okay that you don't support the bug because it's not supported version you needed. What do you think ?
