cmd/go: in 'go mod init', suggest running 'go mod tidy'

When 'go mod init' is run in an existing project, it may import
requirements from a vendor configuration file, but the requirements
may not be complete, and go.sum won't contain sums for module
zips. With -mod=readonly, the next build command is likely to fail.

'go mod init' will now suggest running 'go mod tidy' if there are .go
files or subdirectories in the current directory.

We could potentially run 'go mod tidy' automatically within
'go mod init', but it seems better to guide users to using 'go mod tidy'
as a separate command to fix missing dependencies.

For #41712
Updates #40278
