Brad Fitzpatrick cfea26026b doc: document minimum OS X version as 10.8
The download page says "OS X 10.8 or later", but other pages said 10.7.
Say 10.8 everywhere.

Turns out Go doesn't even compile on OS X 10.7 (details in bug) and we
only run builders for OS X 10.8+, which is likely why 10.7
regressed. Until recently we only had OS X 10.10 builders, even.

We could run 10.7 builders, but there's basically no reason to do so,
especially with 10.12 coming out imminently.

Fixes #16625

Brad Fitzpatrick 0ab6bb42e1 doc: clarify that any C compiler works for cgo
Currently the footnote says "gcc is required only if you plan to use cgo",
but the footnote was referenced from the text:

   "use the clang or gcc† that comes with Xcode‡ for cgo support"

That seems to imply that clang doesn't get you cgo support on OS X,
which isn't true. The update text matches what the install-source.html
page says.

Russ Cox 54575631a5 doc: adjust binary install page supported system list
Make clear that this list is the list of supported systems
for binary distributions, and that other systems may be
able to build the distribution from source, in addition
to using gccgo.

Drop freebsd/arm from the list on this page.
We have never issued a binary distribution for freebsd/arm,
and we're not going to start in Go 1.5, since we don't even
have a working builder for it.

Drop freebsd/386 from the list on the page,
because we are unable to build binary distributions, per adg.

I think the wording here should probably be revised further,
but not now.

Andrew Gerrand 31b0b73924 doc: adjust installation instructions dynamically for a given download
This change allows the download page to redirect the user to
/doc/install?download=filename so the user can see installation
instructions specific to the file they are downloading.

This change also expands the "Test your Go installation" section
to instruct the user to create a workspace, hopefully leading
to less confusion down the line.

It also changes the front page download link to go directly
to the downloads page, which will in turn take them to the
installation instructions (the original destination).

This is related to this change to the tools repo:
