internal/dl: use /dl/{file} URLs on /dl/ HTML page

The /dl/{file} URLs have been supported for many years but not well
documented. Start using them on the /dl/ HTML page and document them,
so that it is clear that they can be reliably used in scripts or so.

This causes clients to have to make an extra HTTP request (which gets
redirected to the target location serving the file bytes), but compared
to the total work to download a Go file, this is negligible. Clients
that really want to skip the redirect can do so, but the trade-off is
that they need to update the URL if the CDN used for Go file downloads
happens to change. The /dl/{file} links are not expected to change for
Go 1.

Fixes golang/go#38713.
