cmd/go: "go get" don't ignore git default branch

Any Git branch can be the default branch not only master. Removing
hardwired 'checkout master', and using 'checkout {tag}' is the best
choice. It works with and without a master branch. Furthermore it
resolves the Github default branch issue. Changing Github default
branch is effectively changing HEAD.

Fixes #9032
