cmd/go: install headers for c-archive/c-shared cgo exports

When
  using -buildmode=c-archive or c-shared, and
  when installing packages that use cgo, and
  when those packages export some functions via //export comments,
then
  for each such package, install a pkg.h header file that declares the
  functions.

This permits C code to #include the header when calling the Go
functions.

This is a little awkward to use when there are multiple packages that
export functions, as you have to "go install" your c-archive/c-shared
object and then pull it out of the package directory.  When compiling
your C code you have to -I pkg/$GOOS_$GOARCH.  I haven't thought of
any more convenient approach.  It's simpler when only the main package
has exported functions.

When using c-shared you currently have to use a _shared suffix in the
-I option; it would be nice to fix that somehow.
