modules: Add some help text to the 'unknown revision' error

I had a head scratching moment with this myself, so it's safe to say that others will.

See #6825

c.logger.Println(`An unknown resivion most likely means that someone has deleted the remote ref (e.g. with a force push to GitHub).
To resolve this, you need to manually edit your go.mod file and replace the version for the module in question with a valid ref.
The easiest is to just enter a valid branch name ther, e.g. master, which would be the what you put in place of 'v0.5.1' in the example below.
require github.com/gohugoio/hugo-mod-jslibs/instantpage v0.5.1
If you then run 'hugo mod graph' it should resolve itself to the most recent version (or commit if no semver versions).`)
