Daniel Martí b2ef159db2 cmd/go: introduce the GOVERSION env variable
This is an extra variable available via 'go env', but not read from the
user's environment. It corresponds to the same string that
runtime.Version returns, assuming a program is built by the same version
of Go.

It's similar to the output of 'go version', but without the "go version"
prefix nor the "$GOOS/$GOARCH" suffix.

The main use case here is tools, which often use 'go env' to query basic
information about the installed Go tree. Its version was one missing
piece of information, which required an extra call to 'go version'
before this change.

Fixes #41116.
