loader: be more robust when creating the cached GOROOT

This commit fixes two issues:

  * Do not try to create the cached GOROOT multiple times in parallel.
    This may happen in tests and is a waste of resources (and thus
    speed).
  * Check for an "access denied" error when trying to rename a directory
    over an existing directory. On *nix systems, this results in the
    expected "file exists" error. Unfortunately, Windows gives an access
    denied. This commit fixes the Windows behavior.
