cmd/go/internal/modfetch: halt proxy fallback if the proxy returns a non-404/410 response for @latest

The @latest proxy endpoint is optional. If a proxy returns a 404 for
it, and returns an @v/list with no matching versions, then we should
allow module lookup to try other module paths. However, if the proxy
returns some other error (say, a 403 or 505), then the result of the
lookup is ambiguous, and we should report the actual error rather than
"no matching versions for query".

(This fix was prompted by discussion with Dmitri on CL 183619.)

Updates #32715
Updates #26334
