GO111MODULE="on" (force modules to be always on)
then cd /usr/local/go/src/cmd/go/internal/load as a example and do go doc in that specific goroot directory to get a overview of package load

% cd /usr/local/go/src/cmd/go/internal/load
% go doc
go list -m: can't compute 'all' using the vendor directory
        (Use -mod=mod or -mod=readonly to bypass.)
package load // import "cmd/go/internal/load"
Package load loads packages.
...

Can I ask a favor please that every maintainer sets there GO111MODULE="on" I have no doubt the module system is ready for prime time, but I really think we are heavily underestimating how many go tools are not ready because most of us just keep working in GOPATH not knowing we are about to hit a iceberg once we turn off GOPATH completely.

This particular error is a side effect of the changes for #33848.
go list -m all has never given complete information in vendor mode; now that we're enabling module mode by default, it's important that we not implicitly drop the missing information.

So there are two underlying problems here:

  1. Integration test coverage for cmd/doc is poor, especially in module mode. (The vast majority of tests for cmd/doc are written against the unexported do function, rather than the go doc command that users actually invoke, and they set an explicit variable to force that function to run only in GOPATH mode.)

  2. go doc either needs to know about the vendor directory and its use, or needs to list packages instead of modules.

GoMod: Reimplement detection of vendor modules
63b5ada 
Previously the vendor modules were detected using the command

  go list -m -mod=vendor all

This is not possible with GoMod 1.14 anymore and fails with [1]:

  can't compute 'all' using the vendor directory

As a replacement use the command

  go mod vendor -v

to get the list of vendor modules [2]. This is also more accurate, as
the previous implementation wrongly included the modules
`github.com/hashicorp/go-multierror` and `golang.org/x/oauth2` in the
vendor scope.

This also allows to enable to `GoModTest` on Windows again which
previously failed because AppVeyor is using GoMod 1.14.

Fixes #2416.

Also add the go.sum file as part of this commit for convenience, because
although it is not required for the test, it needs to be manually deleted
after running the test otherwise.

This also allows to enable the `GoModTest` on Windows again which
previously failed because AppVeyor is using GoMod 1.14.
