doc: tweak Go 1.6 GC release notes

Go 1.6 significantly improves pause times for large heaps, but it
improves them in many other situations as well, such as when goroutine
churn is high, allocation rate is high, or when there are many
finalizers. Hence, make the statement about pause times a bit more
general.
