Subject: [PATCH] docs: build from source without -mod vendor (MAPCO-11521)

Shigola no longer commits vendor/, so the flag would fail. Say instead
that a build downloads its modules against go.sum, and where the offline
recipe lives.

-Dependencies are vendored, so `-mod vendor` builds offline and pins exactly what CI used.
