Jens Frederich 29dc4b40f8 cmd/go: "go get" don't ignore git default branch
Any Git branch can be the default branch not only master. Removing
hardwired 'checkout master', and using 'checkout {tag}' is the best
choice. It works with and without a master branch. Furthermore it
resolves the Github default branch issue. Changing Github default
branch is effectively changing HEAD.

Fixes #9032

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
