cmd/go/internal/modfetch/codehost: report git errors more accurately

Previously, if you attempted to fetch a private repository, or your
Git/curl client failed for an unknown reason, codehost would return an
UnknownRevisionError, which reported that a given revision in go.mod
was "unknown". This is confusing to many users who can go look in
their browser for example and see that the commit-ish exists.

Instead check whether "git ls-remote" exited with an error, and if so,
return that instead of the UnknownRevision message.

Fixes #42751.
