math/big: correct documentation for ProbablyPrime. As akalin points out in the bug, the comment previously claimed that the probability that the input is prime given that the function returned true is 1 - ¼ⁿ. But that's wrong: the correct statement is that the probability of the function returning false given a composite input is 1 - ¼ⁿ. This is not nearly as helpful, but at least it's truthful. A number of other (correct) expressions are suggested on the bug, but I think that the simplier one is preferable. This change also notes that the function is not suitable for adversarial inputs since it's deterministic. Fixes #12274.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.
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.
