x/build: update the rc1 announcement template to mention min gopls version and telemetry #67618

Description

@findleyr

For the go1.23rc1 release announcement, we want to:

  • Highlight the version of gopls required to use new language features (in this case, this will be gopls@v0.16.0 or gopls@v0.16.0-pre.1).
  • Ask users to opt-in to telemetry to help improve our releases.

@dmitshur suggests that the easiest way to do this may be to modify the announcement template at
https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/build/+/master:internal/task/template/announce-rc.md;drc=59c99abb1cb61040972a82e0e4ba4f61a95ac34e

For this release, we could guard these additions with {{if eq .Version "go1.23rc1"}}, but in fact we may want to include both of these features in all future release candidate announcements. It seems like it may always be worthwhile to inform users which gopls version is required to work with new language features, and to ask them to enable telemetry so that we can collect more information about the release candidate.
