Write down a few more things relevant to the process of maintaining the vendor directory for the std and cmd modules. This includes the import path of the package containing a tree consistency check, and some considerations regarding the Go release cycle. Also mention the updatestd command with enough context so that it's clear that it is okay to either use it to update everything at once, or instead update specific modules with individual 'go get' calls, whichever is a better fit for the task at hand. For #31806. For #36905.
