x/build: catch problems in x/ repos gated by module go directive version sooner #67791

Open

Description

Issue #67783 is an example of a test failure that happened only at tip (future Go 1.23 to be) and when the go directive in x/net is increased to Go language version 1.23. Bumping x/net go directive to 1.23 will not happen on its own soon since Go 1.22 and 1.21 are still supported now, but it would be good to have at least one builder that could catch such problems sooner anyway. This is a tracking issue for that.

Edit: Discussion here shows another case where having this implemented would help, by letting vet changes be rolled out more gradually without delay in signal.

More examples of issues that this could help with:

CC @golang/release.
