ci(.github): remove the go-cache action (#27250)

The `test-go-pg` Go cache grew until the post-job save could no longer
complete within the job timeout, cancelling the job on every `main` run.

Depot runners already provide remote Go build caching via
[`GOCACHEPROG`](https://depot.dev/docs/cache/integrations/gocache),
which writes every object it serves into `GOCACHE` and never evicts, so
persisting `GOCACHE` with `actions/cache` on top just carries an
ever-growing directory forward. #20510 removed the custom build cache
steps for exactly this reason, and the `go-cache` action introduced in
#25727 unintentionally reinstated them.

The action is now removed entirely, along with its module cache
persistence: a full cache miss plus cold `go mod download` on a Depot
runner takes about 10 seconds, faster than any warm `actions/cache`
restore of the module cache was.

`setup-go-paths` is kept, as it points `GOCACHE` and friends at the
Windows RAM disk, but its now-unused caching-related outputs are
removed.
