doc/go1.13: make cmd/go paragraphs more concise
Looking at the live release notes on tip.golang.org, the Modules
section is much more verbose than the other sections.
To some extent that's to be expected, but too much detail in the
release notes might discourage folks from consulting the actual
documentation. Ensure that topics have clear links and omit
unnecessary details.
