Subject: _content/doc: fix module and tutorial bugs and clean up flow
For golang/go#44241
- Fix issues 2, 3, 8, 16, 17, 18 from golang/go#44241
Other changes in multiple topics:
- In markdown, replace HTML anchor tags with {#anchor} tags.
- In a few places, add content to clarify that module path must
be a location from which the module can be downloaded.
- Where it was missing, add example.com domain to example module
paths. Hopefully, this will reinforce the idea that the module
path should typically include a domain. Docs will use
something that looks like a domain name for module path.
- Add more cross-references from tutorial to references for
packages and commands.
- Rewrite a few links so that they include the topic title,
rather than simply inline text. Left those links whose
destinations are references -- the item's name seems to
suggest that a reference is at the destination.
- Remove domain name from golang.org doc links, leaving root
directory. Such as /cmd/go/* or /doc/modules/*
- Add path up to root for all links in the same domain.
Some were linking by file name only.
- Change standard library links from golang.org to pkg.go.dev.
Changes in the module tutorial:
- Add text to help clarify that there should be a hello and
greetings directory as siblings in their directory hierarchy.
Some users thought one should be subordinate to the other.
- Where needed, reorder steps so that `go mod init` is run before
code is added. This is intended to reinforce the importance of
the module's presence.
- In require/replace steps, have the user use `go mod edit`
rather than editing the go.mod file in an editor. The tools
are more likely to yield a functioning result.
- Where possible/appropriate, change module directive link
destinations from "Modules reference" to go.mod reference.
- Change "run the code" steps so that they all use `go run .`
rather than `go build` or `go run `. This removes
the impedance of explanation and more commands, while
moving the explanation of `go build` and `go install` to
a separate topic where they share a clearer context.
- Add a "Conclusion" topic with a few links. The tutorial ended
rather abruptly before.
- Minor edits to remove some redundant language.

- That's essentially how error handling in Go works: Return an error as a value
- so the caller can check for it. It's pretty simple. In the tutorial's
- next topic, you'll use a Go slice to return
- a randomly-selected greeting.
