While here, I've removed the CL 472195 TODO, which I marked as RELNOTE=yes by mistake.

+      Crashing Go applications can now opt-in to Windows Error Reporting (WER) by setting the environment variable
+      <code>GOTRACEBACK=wer</code> or calling <a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetTraceback"><code>debug.SetTraceback("wer")</code></a>
+      before the crash. Other than enabling WER, the runtime will behave as with <code>GOTRACEBACK=crash</code>.
+      On non-Windows systems, <code>GOTRACEBACK=wer</code> is ignored.
