Make it easier to avoid permission issues when setting up maddy

Browse source 
1. Clarify that you need to manually create the user and group
when building from source. ./build.sh does not do that since
it is a packaging tool, not system configuration one.

2. Do not require "go" command to be present when running
./build.sh install. go installation may be user-specific and
unavailable when running with sudo.

3. Ease UMask restrictions. Allow group access.
This allows CLI commands to be run by any user in maddy group.

See #569.

Note: to run `maddy` CLI commands, your user should be in the `maddy`
group. Alternatively, just use `sudo -u maddy`.
That is it. Now you have your first e-mail address. when authenticating using
your e-mail client, do not forget the username is "postmaster@example.org", not
just "postmaster".
