extension crashes if go.mod uses language version and the local go version is older than the go version in go.mod

Repro case:

$ GOTOOLCHAIN=local go version
go1.21.9
$ cat go.mod
module w

go 1.22

Failed to run '/usr/local/go/bin/go env' (cwd: /Users/hakim/projects/go-qrcode): Error: Command failed: /usr/local/go/bin/go env -json GOPATH GOROOT GOPROXY GOBIN GOMODCACHE
go: downloading go1.22 (darwin/amd64)

go: downloading go1.22 (darwin/amd64)
go: download go1.22 for darwin/amd64: toolchain not available

The root cause is
golang/go#65580
that was closed as a duplicate of golang/go#62278,
which was closed in favor of a better error message.

I'm seeing a similar problem, but go.work instead of go.mod. I believe the underlying problem to be the same.

Error loading workspace: packages.Load error: err: exit status 1: stderr: go: go.work requires go >= 1.22.3 (running go 1.22.2)

Running go version on the integrated terminal gives:

go version go1.22.3 linux/amd64

Thus the go1.22.2 toolchain was able to download and use the go1.22.3 toolchain, but gopls doesn't pick it up.

@hyangah We expect this to be fixed once 1.21.11 is released with the backported change to download 1.22.0 when 1.22 is listed in go.mod, right?
