[release-branch.go1.26] cmd/go: reject sumdb response lacking module hash

Report an error when a sumdb /lookup/ request does not
include a hash for the requested module, rather than
silently proceeding.

Previously, we would verify that a returned sum matched
the expected module hash, but did not verify that the
response contained a sum. This permits a malicous
proxy to serve a corrupted module along with a
valid-but-irrelevant sumdb response for some other
module. We now ensure that the sumdb response contains
a valid hash for the module we are validating.

Thanks to Mundur (https://github.com/M0nd0R) for reporting this issue.
