[Backport] Go-get: fix 401 error for unauthenticated requests
What does this MR do and why?
Contributes to #493732 (closed)
Problem
Self-managed instances that restricted password authentication for Git
over HTTP(S) started to receive 401 error code for go-get=1
requests
from go toolchain.
The reason is a missing return for the case when request doesn't have basic credentials.
It was introduced in !161162 (merged).
Solution
Restore check for missing basic credentials and add a test case.
