Edward Muller 81dfcba331 go/build: add help info for unset $GOPATH 
We relay this info in a few places, in a few different ways, but not
consistently everywhere.  This led one of our users to start googling
and not find https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Workspaces, of which `go
help gopath` is the most equivalent.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

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.
