While at it, remove a few others from still-maintained files. Leave old

This is close to a complete rewrite, as the content was pretty old.
The CL includes links to the Wiki for information about companies
using Go, a new section about IDEs and editors¹, and a restatement
of the foreign function interface story. It also modernizes and
expands a little on the use of Go inside Google.
¹ Ed is the standard editor.

Many parts of the FAQ are dusty and need cleaning up.

The name was "Mac OS X" during versions 10.0 to 10.7.
It was renamed to "OS X" starting from 10.8 until 10.11.
The current name is "macOS" starting with 10.12. [1]
Previous changes (e.g., CL 47252) updated "Mac OS X" to macOS
in some places, but not everywhere. This CL updates remaining
instances for consistency.
Only the pages that display current information were updated;
historical pages such as release notes for older Go releases,
past articles, blog posts, etc., were left in original form.
Rename the "#osx" anchor to "#macos" on /doc/install page,
along with the single reference to it on the same page.

In the binary sizes FAQ, the approximate size of a Go hello world
binary was said to be 1.5MB (it was about 1.6MB on go1.7 on
linux/amd64). Sadly, this is no longer true. A Go1.10 hello world is
2.0MB, and in 1.11 it'll be about 2.5MB.
Just say "a couple megabytes" to stop this dance.

The existing text makes it seem like there's no way
to use GitHub over HTTPS. There is. Explain that.
Also, the existing text suggests explicit checkout into $GOPATH,
which is not going to work in the new module world.
Drop that alternative.
Also, the existing text uses pushInsteadOf instead of insteadOf,
which would have the effect of being able to push to a private
repo but not clone it in the first place. That seems not helpful,
so suggest insteadOf instead.
