helping golang-golang-x-sys to migrate

Hi folks,

I couple of golang packages I care deeply about are stuck in hirsute-proposed due to autopkgtest failures that I had a hard time understanding. I've come to the conclusion that the problem must be related to https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/hirsute/update_excuses.html#golang-golang-x-sys

It seems that there are regressions in the following packages:

- golang-github-canonical-go-dqlite
- golang-github-lucas-clemente-quic-go
- golang-google-grpc

I'm not familiar with those testsuites, but on the first look, there might be timing issues.

I'd appreciate some thoughts/comments on helping golang-golang-x-sys migrate to hirsute.

Thanks!
