Make local copy of matchmaker101 process simpler

As a person investigating Open-Match for use with a project, it would be nice if following the guides were simpler. The instructions for "Get the Tutorial Template" sound easy, but as you follow the tutorials and actual try to use a copy of the matchmaker101 folder, there are issues with the project that someone unfamiliar with Go wouldn't understand how to resolve.

The issues I'm getting are for error while importing open-match/pkg/pb: cannot find package "github.com/golang/protobuf/ptypes/any" in any of: ... and another problem about using a go.work file.

I'd expect to be able to downloand the project, copy the folder, and simply be able to follow the tutorial and get something working. This is not the case because of the errors mentioned.

I think the confusing part about the instructions is "Make a local copy of the Tutorials Folder." This makes it sound like you only need to copy out one folder of the project. If I'm not mistaken, the intent is to use a local copy of the entire project but specifically work in the matchmaker101 directory throughout the tutorial.
