x/gools/gopls: document settings for working on source distribution

Browse Source 
Gopls needs to use the right go command to work properly on a source
distribution. One way of getting this done is by setting go.alternateTools.

Fixes golang/go#38603

### Working on the Go source distribution
If you are working on the [Go project](https://go.googlesource.com/go) itself, your `go` command will have to correspond to the version of the source you are working on. That is, if you have downloaded the code to `$HOME/go`, your `go` command should be the `$HOME/go/bin/go` executable that you built with `make.bash` or equivalent.
You can achieve this by adding the right version of `go` to your `PATH` (`export PATH=$HOME/go/bin:$PATH` on Unix systems) or by configuring your editor. In VS Code, you can use the `go.alternateTools` setting to point to the correct version of `go`:
```json5
{
"go.alternateTools": {
"go": "$HOME/bin/go"
}
}
```
