go_repository git commit doesn't support http_load caching mechanism thus prevents rules_docker to be used in air gapped environment.

Replacing it with alternative urls address makes go_repository to use http_load and utilize caching mechanism if needed.
An additional piece of information will be needed in future for updating dependencies' versions - sha256.
The way to get sha256 on mac - to download the file from https://api.github.com/repos/<org>/<repo>/tarball/<commit> and running shasum -a 256 <file>

@smartkiwi, is this something that could be accomplished using a Remote Asset API? I haven't ever worked in an airgapped environment so I don't really know much about the difficulties encountered here.

This change is probably ok to make anyway. Something else to look forward to for your use case is the External Dep Overhaul.
