cmd/go: remove invalid space in import comment docs

Generate package comment in alldocs.go using line comments rather than
general comments. This scales better, general comments cannot contain the
"*/" character sequence. Line comments do not have any restrictions on
the comment text that can be contained.

Remove the dependency on sed, which is not cross-platform, not go-gettable
external command.

Remove trailing whitespace from usage string in test.go. It's unnecessary.

Fixes #16030.
