runtime: document all possible values for GOOS and GOARCH

The updated list is taken from "src/go/build/syslist.go".

Reason: one should not do web search to know the possible values of GOOS
and GOARCH.  The search result point to stackoverflow page which
reference the above source and documentation on installation page [1].
It should available offline (as in local godoc), as part of package
documentation.
