doc/go1.16: add multiple release notes for the go command

Added notes for:

* go test -c and -i flags used with unknown flags
* GO111MODULE=on by default
* GOVCS
* Dropped requirements on excluded versions

Removed TODOs for documentation on the retract directive and
'go install pkg@version'. These pages will be written after the beta.

+  This mitigates security issues with tools that are typically used in trusted,
+  authenticated environments. By default, <code>git</code> and <code>hg</code>
