cmd: move GOEXPERIMENT knob from make.bash to cmd/go

This CL changes GOEXPERIMENT to act like other GO[CONFIG] environment
variables. Namely, that it can be set at make.bash time to provide a
default value used by the toolchain, but then can be manually set when
running either cmd/go or the individual tools (compiler, assembler,
linker).

For example, it's now possible to test rsc.io/tmp/fieldtrack by simply
running:

GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack go test -gcflags=-l rsc.io/tmp/fieldtrack \
  -ldflags=-k=rsc.io/tmp/fieldtrack.tracked

without needing to re-run make.bash. (-gcflags=-l is needed because
the compiler's inlining abilities have improved, so calling a function
with a for loop is no longer sufficient to suppress inlining.)

Fixes #42681.
