cmd/go: disable password prompt when running git

This fix only works on Git 2.3.0 and later.

There appears to be no portable way to fix the earlier versions.
We already run git with stdin closed, but on Unix git calls getpass,
which opens /dev/tty itself. We could do package syscall-specific
things to get /dev/tty invalidated during the exec, but I'd really
rather not. And on Windows, Git opens "CONIN$" and "CONOUT$"
itself, and I have no idea how to invalidate those.

Fix the problem for newish Git versions and wait for people to update.
Best we can do.

Fixes #9341.

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.
