doc/go1.11, cmd/go: elaborate on new GOFLAGS environment variable

In Go 1.11, cmd/go gained support for the GOFLAGS environment variable.
It was added and described in detail in CL 126656.
Mention it in the Go 1.11 release notes, link to the cmd/go documentation,
and add more details there.

Fixes #27282.

The environment variable <code>GOFLAGS</code> may now be used
to set default flags for the <code>go</code> command.
This is useful in certain situations.
Linking can be noticeably slower on underpowered systems due to DWARF,
and users may want to set <code>-ldflags=-w</code> by default.
For modules, some users and CI systems will want vendoring always,
so they should set <code>-mod=vendor</code> by default.
For more information, see the <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables"><code>go</code>
command documentation</a>.
