flag: clarify that the main func at pkg.go.dev is part of a testing suite

flag.Example() has this comment:

    ... one must execute, typically at the start of main (not init!):
      flag.Parse()
    We don't run it here because this is not a main function

This example function will be renamed to "main" at pkg.go.dev, which
makes the comment confusing.
See https://pkg.go.dev/flag#example-package.

This change modify the comment to clarify this situation.
