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.

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.
