buildGoModule: don't inherit build hooks when building go-modules (#225349)

* buildGoModule: don't inherit postBuild hook when building go-modules

This is a slight revert of 5ce647b8bf
(#212800).

Inheriting these hooks in the `.go-modules` derivation can be confusing:
One doesn't expect them to run when generating the fixed output modules
derivation, but only on the main derivation. A `postBuild` hook that
adds some files to $out will cause a very hard to debug issue[1].

This commit adds support for a dedicated `modPostBuild` hook that will
be used only by the derivation building `.go-modules`. Additionally,
`go.section.md` now explains these attributes behavior better.

To obtain the actual hash, set `vendorHash = lib.fakeSha256;` and run the build ([more details here](#sec-source-hashes)).
- `proxyVendor`: Fetches (go mod download) and proxies the vendor directory. This is useful if your code depends on c code and go mod tidy does not include the needed sources to build or if any dependency has case-insensitive conflicts which will produce platform dependant `vendorHash` checksums.
- `modPostBuild`: Shell commands to run after the build of the go-modules executes `go mod vendor`, and before calculating fixed output derivation's `vendorHash` (or `vendorSha256`). Note that if you change this attribute, you need to update `vendorHash` (or `vendorSha256`) attribute.

## Attributes used by the builders {#ssec-go-common-attributes}
Both `buildGoModule` and `buildGoPackage` can be tweaked to behave slightly differently, if the following attributes are used:
Many attributes [controlling the build phase](#variables-controlling-the-build-phase) are respected by both `buildGoModule` and `buildGoPackage`. Note that `buildGoModule` reads the following attributes also when building the `vendor/` go-modules fixed output derivation as well:
- [`sourceRoot`](#var-stdenv-sourceRoot)
- [`prePatch`](#var-stdenv-prePatch)
- [`patches`](#var-stdenv-patches)
- [`patchFlags`](#var-stdenv-patchFlags)
- [`postPatch`](#var-stdenv-postPatch)
- [`preBuild`](#var-stdenv-preBuild)
In addition to the above attributes, and the many more variables respected also by `stdenv.mkDerivation`, both `buildGoModule` and `buildGoPackage` respect Go-specific attributes that tweak them to behave slightly differently:
