Robert Griesemer a43669843b spec: clarify section on package initialization
- split description of package initialization and
  program execution
- better grouping of concerns in section on package
  initialization
- more explicit definition of what constitues a
  dependency
- removed language about constant dependencies -
  they are computed at compile-time and not
  initialized at run-time
- clarified that independent variables are initialized
  in declaration order (rather than reference order)

Note that the last clarification is what distinguishes
gc and gccgo at the moment: gc uses reference order
(i.e., order in which variables are referenced in
initialization expressions), while gccgo uses declaration
order for independent variables.

Not a language change. But adopting this CL will
clarify what constitutes a dependency.

Fixes #6703.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
