Daniel Martí 815a5e29f4 cmd/go: fix doc math for build cache hashing
The function takes five 24-bit chunks from the hash, resulting in 120
bits. When base-64 encoded, this results in a 20-byte output string,
which is confirmed by "var dst [chunks * 4]byte".

It seems like the documented math could have been written for a previous
implementation with shorter hashes, using 4 chunks instead of 5, as then
the math checks out.

Since this code has been working correctly for over three years, let's
fix the documentation to reflect the code.
