cmd/go: mod init outside of GOPATH silently fails

Running `go mod init` outside of GOPATH with `GO111MODULE=off`
silently fails. This behavior was undocumented.

This CL makes go mod fail with the error:

   go: modules disabled by GO111MODULE=off; see 'go help modules'
Comparing with already erroring GO111MODULE=<value> conditions:

* With GO111MODULE=auto, inside GOPATH:
    go modules disabled inside GOPATH/src by GO111MODULE=auto; see 'go help modules'
* With GO111MODULE=auto outside of GOPATH:
    go: cannot determine module path for source directory /path/to/dir (outside GOPATH, no import comments)

Fixes #31342
