cmd/release: install Go to appropriate Program Files directory

The previous default installation path, C:\Go, has default permissions
that are too permissive when adding a directory to the OS path. This
change moves the default installation target to "Program Files" or
"Program Files (x86)", which will inherit appropriate permissions, and
is the canonical place to install software on Windows.

Tested signed windows-386 and windows-amd64 artifacts on a 64-bit
Windows device.

Fixes golang/go#42070
