Vim-go: Option to disable quickfix/location list completely when showing linter errors

[Ch00k]

What did you do? (required. The issue will be closed when not provided.)

1. I created a .vimrc file with the following contents:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'fatih/vim-go'
call plug#end()

1. I started vim:

$ vim foo.go

This immediately inserted some code into the buffer:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("vim-go")
}

1. I changed the code in the buffer to look like this:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() foo bar {
    fmt.Println("vim-go")
}

1. I saved the buffer.
   

   What did you expect to happen?

Location list popping up. However, I expect to have a configuration option, that would allow me to disable it completely, while still running linting on file save. For example, in case of w0rp/ale, the location list (or quickfix) is not opened by default. If you want it to be opened, you have to set let g:ale_open_list = 1. Having something similar in vim-go would be great.

What happened instead?

Location list popped up.

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'fatih/vim-go'
call plug#end()

This is somewhat related to #989 and #1628

Looks like what I need can be achieved by setting let g:go_fmt_fail_silently = 1.
