src/goInstallTools: use `go list` to check upgradability

The extension has been querying the module proxy's /@v/list
endpoint directly to get the list of available gopls version.
This change changes the logic to use `go list -m` to get the
version list. With go1.16, version retraction feature
was added, and using the go command is more reliable way to
learn about the retracted versions. So, use that.

This change also fixes a bug in the tool installation that
prevented Go nightly users from installing gopls prerelease
versions when using 'Go: Update/Install Tools' command.
If the go command supports `@latest-prerelease` tag, it would
have been easier. But that's not available, so we run `go list
-m --versions` and find the last version from Versions.
