cmd/dist: include "go1.x-" in devel go version strings
This way, "go version" will report the "base version" or major version that the tool corresponds to. This is the same version number that is matched against build tags such as "go1.14" or "!go1.16". Obtaining this version being built is non-trivial, since we can't just import a package or query git. The added comments document the chosen mechanism, based on a regular expression. It was chosen over AST parsing as it would add a significant amount of code without much gain, given how simple the goversion.go file is. For #41116.
