cmd/go: tighten the check for pseudo-version base tags

Do not allow a pseudo-version derived from a canonical tag to refer to
the same revision as the tag itself. It's unnecessary (because
canonical tags already have a total ordering) and confusing (the
pseudo-version appears to come after the tag, but actually refers to
the exact same revision).

Updates #32879
Updates #27173
