Pull request overview

This pull request updates the default Go module caching strategy to use go.mod instead of go.sum as the cache key dependency file. This change aligns with the V6 release strategy for intelligent caching that incorporates toolchain directives from go.mod.

Changes:

Updated default dependency file pattern from go.sum to go.mod in package manager configuration
Renamed variables in cache-restore logic from goSumFileExists to goModFileExists for clarity
Updated action.yml description to clarify support for both go.mod and go.sum
Added comprehensive test coverage for the new default behavior
Updated documentation to explain the change and how to use go.sum if needed

Updated breaking changes section with enhanced formatting and clarified toolchain management details.

Update the reusable setup-go action to use **/*.mod instead of **/*.sum for cache-dependency-path. go.sum is an append-only checksum log that only grows and never removes entries, making it a poor cache key — it causes unnecessary cache misses when entries are added but dependencies haven't actually changed. go.mod accurately represents the actual dependency graph and is the correct file for cache invalidation. This aligns with the upstream actions/setup-go v6 default change: actions/setup-go#705 Made-with: Cursor
