cmd/dist: omit DWARF in build release toolchain binaries

Browse Source 
The vast majority of users of Go toolchains have no need for
binaries like the go command and compiler to include DWARF
information, and the DWARF information is 34% of the size of
the overall Go toolchain zip files (14% when the toolchain is
unzipped on disk, because other parts get bigger).

To save network and disk, disable DWARF in build release binaries.
DWARF remains enabled when developing in the main branch
(signaled by no VERSION file existing), for better debuggability
when actually working on the compiler and go command.

Note that removing DWARF does not break the backtraces shown
when a binary panics, nor does it break other uses of stack traces
from within a Go program, such as runtime.Callers.

To build a release toolchain with DWARF included, people can use

	GO_LDFLAGS=-w=0 ./make.bash
