ci: improve go caches (#38730)

Cache saves have been rejected since June because the repo sat above its
10 GB allowance, so every PR run fell back to a cache built with an
older toolchain and rebuilt the backend from scratch.

- go version in the `gobuild` and `golint` keys and `restore-keys`
- seeder triggers on `go.mod` and gained `workflow_dispatch`
- single writer for the `gomod` cache, the two were racing
- new daily `cache-prune` workflow holding the total under a limit
- `cache: false` for `setup-go` in release and cron workflows, it held
815 MB
- add `workflow_dispatch` so the cache workflows can be triggered
on-demand
