Prefer installing version from toolchain directive

Prefer this over the version from the `go` directive. Per the docs[1]

> The toolchain line declares a suggested toolchain to use with the
module or workspace

It seems reasonable to use this, since running this action in a
directory containing a `go.mod` (or `go.work`) suggests the user is
wishing to work _with the module or workspace_.

 ## Getting go version from the go.mod file
 
-The `go-version-file` input accepts a path to a `go.mod` file or a `go.work` file that contains the version of Go to be used by a project.
+The `go-version-file` input accepts a path to a `go.mod` file or a `go.work`
+file that contains the version of Go to be used by a project. The version taken

+The version can specify a patch version or omit it altogether (e.g., `go 1.22.0` or `go 1.22`).
 
-The `go` directive in `go.mod` can specify a patch version or omit it altogether (e.g., `go 1.22.0` or `go 1.22`).  
 If a patch version is specified, that specific patch version will be used.  
 If no patch version is specified, it will search for the latest available patch version in the cache,
