This drops the setup_go_env_vars script, which is only confusing. It
contained three lines, of which only one (setting GOPATH) is always
required and the other two are only relevant when go is manually
installed. In the most common case (go installed through a package
manager), they will even break the build.

Instead of referring to an external script, just show how to set
GOPATH in the README itself.

This improvement was prompted by the user confusion found in #244.

Since this is a fairly trivial change, that becomes useful as soon as it is merged (not only after a release), perhaps this can be merged already? @facchinm ?
