Brad Fitzpatrick 778b649e38 doc: direct people to the mailing list
Since the move to Github, we've started to receive lots of
introductory questions to the bug tracker. I posit this is because
most projects on Github don't have mailing lists, so the culture on
Github is to use the Issue Tracker as a discussion forum.

The Go project doesn't use the Issue Tracker as our first point of
communication. This CL updates CONTRIBUTING.md (which is linked when
you file a bug or send a pull request), to mention that we have a
mailing list.

It certainly won't stop all the errant bug reports, but it should
help.

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.
