doc: mention the scratch repo
If people are interested in contributing to Go, but not sure what
change they'd like to make just yet, we can point them to the scratch
repo, so they can go through the process of submitting and merging
something now, and make more useful contributions later.
My evidence that sending people to the scratch repo would encourage
future contributions is that a number of people who went through the
workshop at Gophercon have continued to send CL's after submitting to
the scratch repo, even though I doubt they planned to before going
through the workshop.
