tool: add go toolchain wrapper for Windows

go.cmd lets you run just "./tool/go" on Windows the same as Linux/Darwin.

The batch script (go.md) then just invokes PowerShell which is more
powerful than batch.

I wanted this while debugging Windows CI performance by reproducing slow
tests on my local Windows laptop.

Updates tailscale/corp#28679
