Jay Conrod 530097fe60 cmd/go: document GOBIN and 'go install' locations
* In doc/install-source.html, clarify the meaning of $GOBIN and
  describe where executables from the Go distribution are
  installed. Also describe $GOPATH, since it provides a default value
  for $GOBIN and may conflict with $GOROOT.
* Add more detail to 'go help install' as well.

Fixes #31576
