Pull #89453 introduced a bug in the documentation that is preventing the hydra build for nixpkgs-unstable from finishing. I have added the additional option indroduced in that patch (runVend for go modules) and added the callout tag so that the documenation can build again.

When `null` is used as a value, rather than fetching the dependencies

and vendoring them, we use the vendoring included within the source repo.

If you'd like to not have to update this field on dependency changes,

run `go mod vendor` in your source repo and set 'vendorSha256 = null;'
