Austin Clements 1942e3814b runtime: clarify runtime.GC blocking behavior
The runtime.GC documentation was rewritten in df2809f to make it clear
that it blocks until GC is complete, but the re-rewrite in ed9a4c9 and
e28a679 lost this property when clarifying that it may also block the
entire program and not just the caller.

Try to arrive at wording that conveys both of these properties.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
