GitHub Actions: use actions/setup-go v6.4.0 [v1.11 backport] - #4006

Conversation
The version we were previously using has an incorrect hard-coded URL template for downloading Go versions that are not yet in the action's own manifest file, which means that it can't successfully install any Go version that hasn't been added to the manifest yet. This new version is updated to use an endpoint on https://go.dev/ that is set up to redirect to whatever the correct location is, which was recommended by a member of the Go team in actions/setup-go#665 and so is presumably intended to remain valid.

This is a backport of #4005 to the v1.11 branch, since that series is still under security support so we may need to be able to quickly adopt new Go releases when security advisories are announced.
