@jayconrod requested issue #44745 (fixed in b87e9b9 and b62da08 for Go 1.17) to be considered for backport to the next 1.16 minor release.

@gopherbot Please backport to Go 1.16. This message was triggered by #41330, and it's unexpected by most. Improving the error message carries little risk.

Approving per discussion in a release meeting. Only Go 1.16 needs this backport.

The new error message tells the user what was wrong (no go.mod found)
and directs them to 'go help modules', which links to tutorials.

Includes test fix from CL 298794
Fixes #44746
