This change updates the README installation section, to use go install for newer Go versions (>= 1.17). Both the old go get method and new method remain described to support users of the older Go versions.
As of Go 1.17, the use of go get for installing executables is deprecated. And will be disabled from Go 1.18. As per message on command line:
go get: installing executables with 'go get' in module mode is deprecated.
Use 'go install pkg@version' instead.
For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation
or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.
