Go don't support -mod=release yet. Please replace it with -mod=mod

[marksartdev]

Thank you for creating the issue!

• [v] Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• [v] Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• [v] Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).

Please include the following information:

Version of golangci-lint

$ golangci-lint --version
golangci-lint has version 1.34.1 built from d7dd233 on 2020-12-29T08:34:46Z

Config file

$ cat .golangci.yml
# This file contains all available configuration options
# with their default values.

# options for analysis running
run:
  # default concurrency is a available CPU number
  concurrency: 4

  # timeout for analysis, e.g. 30s, 5m, default is 1m

  # If invoked with -mod=readonly, the go command is disallowed from the implicit
  # automatic updating of go.mod described above. Instead, it fails when any changes
  # to go.mod are needed. This setting is most useful to check that go.mod does
  # not need updates, such as in a continuous integration and testing system.
  # If invoked with -mod=vendor, the go command assumes that the vendor
  # directory holds the correct copies of dependencies and ignores
  # the dependency descriptions in go.mod.

I fixed that in my PR #1593

$ go help build
