buildGoModule: support impure modules (#76532)

Browse Source 
When modSha256 is null, disable the nix sandbox instead of using a
fixed-output derivation. This requires the nix-daemon to have
`sandbox = relaxed` set in their config to work properly.

Because the output is (hopefully) deterministic based on the inputs,
this should give a reproducible output. This is useful for development
outside of nixpkgs where re-generating the modSha256 on each mod.sum
changes is cumbersome.

Don't use this in nixpkgs! This is why null is not the default value.

<varname>modSha256</varname> can also take <varname>null</varname> as an input.
When `null` is used as a value, the derivation won't be a
fixed-output derivation but disable the build sandbox instead. This can be useful outside
of nixpkgs where re-generating the modSha256 on each mod.sum changes is cumbersome,
but will fail to build by Hydra, as builds with a disabled sandbox are discouraged.
