[1.22] Is installing go under $HOME no longer possible?

[Tetsuo Handa]

I noticed that go 1.22 started emitting

warning: GOPATH set to GOROOT ($HOME/go) has no effect

and VSCode plugin noisily emits "Failed to run ..." messages
due to this warning message).

Although https://go.dev/doc/install suggests doing

tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz

and

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

, I'm doing

tar -C $HOME -xzf go1.21.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz

and

export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin/

so that external packages can be installed without requiring
the write permission under /usr/local/go/ directory.

Installing under $HOME worked without problems until go 1.21.7 .
If this is an intentional change, please update https://go.dev/doc/install
to explicitly comment that installing under $HOME is not possible.

I just saw a big turn, that is the reason why to not do something about it. And not even say about it. And to not work even on it.
