Move `GOPATH` (at least `GOBIN`) under an XDG dir or so #3

Things like 2fa are installed by Go into ~/go/bin. That's pretty ugly.

Found a proposal. @nhooyr commented on Jul 23, 2018:

I agree, lets change this proposal to make the default $GOPATH $XDG_DATA_HOME/go because $XDG_DATA_HOME is for user specific essential data. It'll be safer like you said.

So I would probably go like that. Sadly the proposal got rejected. The alternative for me could be:

GOPATH => ~/.local/go

Yup, very disappointing decision by the Go team.

On the other hand, almost everything could be done using the properly managed dot-files like .bashrc :P
