cmd/8l, cmd/internal/ld, cmd/internal/obj/x86: stop incorrectly using the term "inital exec"

The long comment block in obj6.go:progedit talked about the two code sequences
for accessing g as "local exec" and "initial exec", but really they are both forms
of local exec. This stuff is confusing enough without using the wrong words for
things, so rewrite it to talk about 2-instruction and 1-instruction sequences.
Unfortunately the confusion has made it into code, with the R_TLS_IE relocation
now doing double duty as meaning actual initial exec when externally linking and
boring old local exec when linking internally (half of this is my fault). So this
stops using R_TLS_IE in the local exec case. There is a chance this might break
plan9 or windows, but I don't think so. Next step is working out what the heck is
going on on ARM...

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
