doc/install.html: streamline the “Test your installation” step and ma…
…ke it module-agnostic In CL 199417, we updated “How to Write Go Code” to give a basic introduction to modules and to include module-mode commands. However, most new users will end up reading “Getting Started” (doc/install.html) before “How to Write Go Code”, and we forgot to update the handful of commands there for module mode. Before this change, the “Test your installation” section also covered quite a few operations beoyond merely testing the installation: it included setting up a GOPATH, building a binary, and installing and cleaning binaries. Those are valuable operations to learn, but they arguably belong in “How to Write Go Code”, not “Test your installation” — and having all that extra detail in the install instructions may well discourage folks from further essential reading. Rather than updating all of those operations here, I've removed them. A companion CL will update “How to Write Go Code” to ensure that it mentions GOPATH (as the location of the module cache and the default install location for binaries) and 'go clean -i'.
