content/static/doc: improve getting started docs with install topic and tutorials

The existing install topic includes content that is likely not needed by
most new users, including system requirements, content on installing
multiple versions, and so on. This change separates the most common install
case content into its own topic and moves some of the less commonly used
content into a separate topic.

This change also includes an introductory tutorial that might be useful for
new users, particularly those coming from a different language. A second
multi-part tutorial continues the introduction with fundamental programming
topics connected by a narrative thread and featuring links to other related
parts of the docs.

This change includes:

- A simpler "Download and install" topic that replaces Getting started.
Topic is designed to help users focus on what they need for a given OS.
- A new "Managing Go installations" topic that holds content about
installing that is likely not in the most common workflow (including
uninstall, multiple versions).
- A minor change that adds a link to the install-source topic.
- A single-page Hello World tutorial.
- A multi-part tutorial that introduces fundamental programming concepts
from a Go perspective (functions, loops, errors, slices, maps, and so on).
- An index file that lists the tutorials.
- CSS to style "Note" sections, tabbed sections, table, and highlighted
code.
- A JavaScript file with code for the install page.

This change also creates on golang/website a version of install.html and
install-source.html, which would be deleted from the golang/go repository
(effectively moving the files).

For golang/go#40496
