docs(README): README build steps don't require clone to GOPATH

[realnedsanders]

Fix documentation to no longer reflect needless requirement of cloning
the installer repository to a directory in $GOPATH/src.

I didn't think this deserved its own branch, however I can move it if need be.

Hi @angelofdeauth. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

1.13 still allows users to turn off the go modules AFAIK.. so i'm not sure if we can remove this yet?

That's correct, via the env var GO111MODULE=[on|off|auto].
The current minimum version of Go required by the installer is Go 1.13.
According to the go 1.13 modules documentation, the default setting for this variable is auto.
The documentation details auto's behavior as follows:

GO111MODULE=auto enables module-mode if any go.mod is found, even inside GOPATH. (Prior to Go 1.13, GO111MODULE=auto would never enable module-mode inside GOPATH).

As GO111MODULE=off would be a user-specific configuration which differs from the default, I would argue it would be incumbent upon the user to be mindful of their environment-specific configuration.
