doc/install/gccgo: note gold linker deprecation

The gold linker is deprecated as of GNU Binutils 2.44 (February 2025)
and may be removed in future releases. Update the documentation to:

- Add a deprecation notice at the start of the Gold section
- Recommend lld as an alternative that supports split stacks
- Note that gold is now in a separate binutils-with-gold tarball
- Provide the --with-ld flag for using lld

Fixes golang/go#71923
