Fix Go dependency install instructions in README

Ghost User requested to merge readme_go_deps_tweak into main

Prior to Go 1.17 the "go get" command was overloaded to install library dependencies and applications. As of Go 1.17 installing applications with it results in a warning, and as of Go 1.18 it will no longer be used to install applications.

This patch updates the readme to use "go install" instead.

TL;DR — "go get" updates module dependencies, "go install" builds binaries and sticks them in $GOBIN.
