fix(go): preserve ~/go across version upgrades

Previously, each `go install` upgrade would create a new versioned
`go-bin-vX.Y.Z` directory and symlink `~/go` to it, effectively
hiding all globally-installed Go tools on every upgrade.

New behavior in pkg_link():
- New install: create ~/go as a real directory (not a symlink)
- Existing versioned symlink: rename go-bin-vX.Y.Z to the stable
  unversioned path ~/.local/opt/go-bin, preserving all installed tools
- Already migrated (symlink to go-bin) or real dir: leave untouched
- Broken symlink: recreate ~/go as a real directory
