I read docs and wrote a crawler + link checker on the plane,
which also checks for #fragments. I'll send that out later
when it's less gross.

Also:
- put GORACE into the go env command
- do minor housekeeping on the race detector article
Fixes#4995.

Be deliberately vague, since the precise details should not be depended upon.
Fixes#5155.

Mention support for NetBSD, OpenBSD, and cgo for linux/arm.

Always use /home/you for $HOME in examples.
Trivial enough that someone else can integrate this change if they are editing go1.1.html

Also adjust the implementation of applyRelocationsAMD64
so that the test added in CL 6848044 still passes.

Only the net stuff remains as significant work in the "minor changes" section.

I am still not convinced this is a change we should make, but at least
documenting it will keep us from forgetting it as we get closer to Go 1.1.

Fixes#4186.
Back in the day, before the Go 1.0 release, $GOROOT was mandatory for building from source. Fast forward to now and $GOPATH is mandatory and $GOROOT is optional, and mainly used by those who use the binary distribution in uncommon places.
For example, most novices at least know about `sudo` as they would have used it to install the binary tarball into /usr/local. It is logical they would use the `sudo` hammer to `go get` other Go packages when faced with a permission error talking about the path they just had to use `sudo` on last time.
Even if they had read the documentation and set $GOPATH, go get will not work as expected as `sudo` masks most environment variables.
llucky(~) % ~/go/bin/go env | grep GOPATH
GOPATH="/home/dfc"
lucky(~) % sudo ~/go/bin/go env | grep GOPATH
GOPATH=""
This CL therefore proposes to remove support for using `go get` to download source into $GOROOT.
This CL also proposes an error when GOPATH=$GOROOT, as this is another place where new Go users can get stuck.

This CL adds a flag parser that matches the semantics of Go's
package flag. It also changes the linkers and compilers to use
the new flag parser.
Command lines that used to work, like
8c -FVw
6c -Dfoo
5g -I/foo/bar
now need to be split into separate arguments:
8c -F -V -w
6c -D foo
5g -I /foo/bar
The new spacing will work with both old and new tools.
The new parser also allows = for arguments, as in
6c -D=foo
5g -I=/foo/bar
but that syntax will not work with the old tools.
In addition to matching standard Go binary flag parsing,
the new flag parser generates more detailed usage messages
and opens the door to long flag names.
The recently added gc flag -= has been renamed -complete.
