cmd/go: emit go list error for local non-existant packages

In CL 129061, a check was added for patterns that reference
nonexistent local directories. While this prevented unnecessary
network lookups (fixing #26874), it caused "go list -e" to exit with
an error instead of listing packages with error messages.

This change avoids the network lookup and does not exit for these
kinds of packages. Errors are still reported by
internal/load.LoadImport for packages that don't exist.

Fixes #28023
