Report the Go build info version when linker flags set none (closes #422)
check / check (push) Failing after 15m4s

A `go install` of a tag sets no linker flags, so the binary reported
`dev`. Version, commit and commit date that the linker flags leave
unset now come from the build info Go records. Go records a
pseudo-version for an untagged commit and a `+dirty` suffix for a
modified checkout; `IsDevVersion` now counts both as development
builds, using `golang.org/x/mod`.
