cmd/gomobile: detect missing golang.org/x/mobile dep before invoking gobind

gobind's generated code depends on packages under golang.org/x/mobile/bind,
and gobind resolves them through the calling module via packages.Load. When
the dependency is missing from the user's module — most commonly after
go mod tidy removes it because no non-generated code imports it — gobind
fails with an opaque message repeated once per sub-target:

    unable to import bind: no Go package in golang.org/x/mobile/bind
    unable to import bind: no Go package in golang.org/x/mobile/bind
    unable to import bind/objc: no Go package in golang.org/x/mobile/bind/objc

Detect the missing module dependency in cmd/gomobile before invoking gobind
and emit a single actionable message that suggests adding a tool directive
to go.mod via 'go get -tool golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gobind'.

Fixes golang/go#77183.
