[release-branch.go1.14] cmd/go: don't lookup the path for CC when invoking cgo

Previously, if CC was a path without separators (like gcc or clang),
we'd look it up in PATH in cmd/go using internal/execabs.LookPath,
then pass the resolved path to cgo in CC.

This caused a regression: if the directory in PATH containing CC has a
space, cgo splits it and interprets it as multiple arguments.

With this change, cmd/go no longer resolves CC before invoking
cgo. cgo does the path lookup on each invocation. This reverts the
security fix CL 284780, but that was redundant with the addition of
internal/execabs (CL 955304), which still protects us.

NOTE: This CL includes a related test fix from CL 286292.

Fixes #43859
