cmd/go: remove the -mod flag from 'go get'

'GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor' currently causes 'go get' to always fail unless
the '-mod' flag is explicitly overwritten. Moreover, as of CL 198319
we plan to set -mod=vendor by default if a vendor directory is
present, so all users with vendor directories will be affected — not
just those who set 'GOFLAGS' explicitly.

Similarly, an explicit '-mod=readonly' argument to 'go get' is
currently ignored as a special case, but the fact that it is ignored
(rather than rejected) can be very surprising.

Rather than adding more special cases, we should remove the '-mod'
flag from 'go get' entirely.

Fixes #30345
Fixes #32502
Updates #33848
