proposal: x/pkgsite/cmd/pkgsite: old mode

[3052]

Proposal Details

here:

#45986 (comment)

its suggested to use x/tools/cmd/godoc instead of x/website/cmd/golangorg, fair enough.

however x/tools/cmd/godoc is now deprecated in favor of x/pkgsite/cmd/pkgsite.

my issue is that golangorg offers a desirable option m=old, which gives a simple layout:

https://go.dev/pkg/fmt?m=old

pkgsite does not have this option:

https://pkg.go.dev/fmt?m=old

If you like the godoc layout, feel free to use that or one of the forks that other people maintain, an entirely new layout seems out of scope (considering different internals).
