People sometimes want to turn on a particular go command flag by default.
In Go 1.11 we have at least two different cases where users may need this.
1. Linking can be noticeably slower on underpowered systems
due to DWARF, and users may want to set -ldflags=-w by default.
2. For modules, some users or CI systems will want vendoring always,
so they want -getmode=vendor (soon to be -mod=vendor) by default.
This CL generalizes the problem to “set default flags for the go command.”
$GOFLAGS can be a space-separated list of flag settings, but each
space-separated entry in the list must be a standalone flag.
That is, you must do 'GOFLAGS=-ldflags=-w' not 'GOFLAGS=-ldflags -w'.
The latter would mean to pass -w to go commands that understand it
(if any do; if not, it's an error to mention it).
