The Go standard library retrofitted context support onto existing APIs using context.Background and later offered variants that directly supported user-defined context value specification. This commit makes that behavior clear in documentation and suggests context-aware alternatives if the user is looking for one. An example motivation is supporting code for use in systems that expect APIs to be cancelable for lifecycle correctness or load shedding/management reasons, as alluded to in https://blog.golang.org/context-and-structs.
