cmd/go: warn about non-use of go.mod in legacy go get

It's important for a smooth transition for non-module users
not to change operation in GOPATH/src by default in Go 1.11,
even if go.mod exists in a downloaded dependency.

Even so, users create go.mod and then are confused about
why 'go get' commands seem to behave oddly, when in fact
they are getting the old 'go get'.

Try to split the difference by printing a warning in 'go get'
when run in a tree that would normally be considered a
module if only it were outside GOPATH/src.
