cmd/go: stop tests from using network during -short

It turned out that "go get" was using the network to look up
https://github.com?go-get=1 while resolving github.com/google/go-cmp,
and that is not the fastest page to load.
Stop that lookup by adjusting the path prefixes in the vcs table.

It also turned out that "go get" was using the network to look up
https://rsc.io?go-get=1 while resolving https://rsc.io/nonexist.svn.
That's a bit more defensible maybe, since rsc.io is not a known VCS host.
But for tests we really want to avoid the network entirely, so this CL
adds a special case in repoRootFromVCSPaths that returns a hard error
for plain "rsc.io" instead of doing the web fetch.

To keep us honest in the future, I added two automatically-set env
variables TESTGONETWORK=panic and TESTGOVCS=panic.
These cause the go command to panic rather than make a network request
or invoke a VCS command.

go test -short cmd/go now passes with these checks.

This reduced the time spent in go test -short cmd/go on my
Google workstation from 154s to 30s. (Yay network firewalls.)
