cmd/go/internal/modfetch: set protocol.version=2 for shallow git fetches

This works around an apparent bug in the Git HTTP backend, introduced
in Git 2.21, that causes responses for the version 1 protocol to
provide incomplete tags.

For Git commands older than 2.18, this configuration flag is ignored.
(Note that Git 2.29 and above already use protocol version 2 by
default.)

Fixes #56881.
