fix(gomod): pseudo-version digest updates produce no change when module is absent from go proxy

[Maydaer]

Changes

Since Renovate version 43.167.0 (which includes PR #41588), digest updates for Go modules with pseudo-versions no longer produce file changes, if the repository is unavailable in the goproxy (for example repos on github enterprise instances, private repositories, etc).
The update process detects a newer commit, but only for newDigest.
The lookup for the new commit on proxy.golang.org fails, which causes upgrade.newValue in gomod.update to be equal to the current (old) value.

However, since current value is a pseudo-version, the version starts with v0.0.0-and gomod.update goes into the new code path

  if (upgrade.newValue?.startsWith('v0.0.0-')) {

added by the above PR, but since newVersion is the old version, no file changes occur.

This PR ensures the old behavior is triggered, if newValue and oldValue are identical, which handles the case where goproxy is unavailable.
