Subject: [PATCH] [misc] Pin the toolchain gomobile init needs for gobind
 (#7291)

* [misc] Let gomobile init fetch the toolchain gobind needs

The previous commit's CI run confirmed the failure on a comment-only diff
off main, so the cause is not any branch's changes:

    Android / Build   failure
    iOS / Build       failure

`gomobile init` re-installs gobind from x/mobile@latest whatever gomobile is
pinned to, and setup-go sets GOTOOLCHAIN=local, so the install dies the
moment @latest declares a newer Go than go.mod does:

    gomobile: go install golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gobind@latest failed: exit status 1
    go: golang.org/x/mobile@v0.0.0-20260821190718-4776eadac327
       requires go >= 1.26.0 (running go 1.25.12; GOTOOLCHAIN=local)

GOTOOLCHAIN=auto on that step alone lets the install fetch what it asks for.
Scoped to the step deliberately: the repo's Go version and every build below
it stay on go.mod's toolchain, so this buys the mobile jobs nothing except
the ability to run gobind.

Pinning gobind next to gomobile does not work — init re-installs @latest
regardless. A durable fix is to stop `init` reaching the network at all, or
to track x/mobile's Go requirement in go.mod; both are larger changes than a
red CI warrants right now.
