_content/doc/go1.24: fix meaning of -u in 'go get -u tool'
It's a common misperception that -u is needed more often than it is,
perhaps in part due to muscle memory from the GOPATH days.
The current release notes suggest that 'go get -u tool' will upgrade all
of the current module's tools, but it does more than that -- it will
also upgrade all of the direct and indirect non-test dependencies of
those tools too.
The simplest fix is probably just to remove the -u from this section of
the release notes.
There are various other details that could be covered, like the -u or -t
flags, or that 'go get tool' is a shorthand for 'go get tool@upgrade',
but maybe this is sufficient.
