cmd/release: remove the blog from the releases

This removes the blog from the release binary, greatly lowering the size
of each release. It will now redirect to blog.golang.org, unless the user
runs "go get -u golang.org/x/blog" to cache it locally, in which case the
release-shipped godoc will prefer the local copy of the blog.

Currently, the blog is growing at ~2MB a year, thus including the blog in
every new go version release will continue to grow the releases over time.

The release size was 170MB for go1.11rc1, this change reduces the size
by 34MB, a 20% reduction.

Fixes golang/go#21917
