cmd/go: update go help entries to focus on modules

Some of the go help entries, especially go help packages, primarily
explained GOPATH mode behavior. While building legacy projects in GOPATH
mode will continue to be supported by the go command, it is now a very
niche use case, and the docs should focus on modules. This CL updates
go help to focus on modules primarily.

Fixes #57655
