doc: add note about missing lock in sample code

Browse Source 
The sample code in 'Interfaces and methods' section contains a
data race. Handlers are served concurrently. The handler does write
and read operations; `go test -race` would fail (with concurrent
requests). Since the doc is frozen and the code remains less
cluttered without locks/atomic, don't change the sample code.

For brevity, let's ignore POSTs and assume HTTP requests are always
GETs; that simplification does not affect the way the handlers are
set up. Here's a trivial but complete implementation of a handler to
count the number of times the
page is visited.

(Keeping with our theme, note how <code>Fprintf</code> can print to an
<code>http.ResponseWriter</code>.)
In a real server, access to <code>ctr.n</code> would need protection from
concurrent access.
See the <code>sync</code> and <code>atomic</code> packages for suggestions.

For reference, here's how to attach such a server to a node on the URL tree.
