docker-machine-parallels @2.0.1: build fails, possibly due to outdated golang.org/x/sys requirement

[baburton]

This port does not build (reproducible on both x86_64 and arm64 architectures). The build spits out several errors of the following form:

../../../../pkg/mod/golang.org/x/sys@v0.0.0-20190422165155-953cdadca894/unix/zsyscall_darwin_arm64.go:28:3: //go:linkname must refer to declared function or variable

Some googling [1] suggests that the root of the problem is that the go.lang/x/sys dependency pulls in a version of golang.org/x/sys that is too old. This is an indirect dependency, coming from golang.org/x/crypto; in turn, docker-machine-parallels hard-codes the golang.org/x/crypto dependency as a version from August 2020.

So: I am hoping that this can be fixed by updating the docker-machine-parallels go.mod to pull in a newer version of golang.org/x/crypto.

Caveat: I know nothing about the go language at all, and this is the first time I have ever looked into a go.mod or go.sum file.

I am using the latest macOS (12.4) and Xcode (13.4.1).

For reference, I've attached the full (and fairly short) build logs from both x86_64 and arm64 machines.

Thanks - Ben.
