Subject: [PATCH] docs: add new Prerequisites (#1722)

<!-- please provide a detailed description of the changes made in this
pull request. -->
I propose this change in the prerequisites of the
[getting-started](https://docs.gno.land/getting-started/local-setup)
because @kazai777 and I (mac apple silicon users) encountered a `command
not found` with the given commands. And by checking with `echo $GOPATH`,
the path was empty. We noticed that in the newer versions of Go, one
must manually add the path.

However, thanks to @mous1985 , we saw that on Ubuntu, it was set
automatically.

Warning -> this also needs to be verified on Windows.
