doc/go1.16: consolidate stdlib changes in "Minor changes" section
Many of the standard library changes that were added before CL 272871 ended up in the "Core library" section. That section is meant for major changes like new packages, and most of these aren't. Consolidate all changes in the "Minor changes to the library" section for now, so that it's easier to get a complete picture of changes for each package, along with the remaining TODOs. Add a TODO to read them over at the end and factor out items that are worth highlighting. Apply minor other fixups to improve consistency. For #40700.
