Restructure the Go binding for self-contained distribution (#236)

## Problem
Plain `go get` + `go build` of the Go binding never worked **as a dependency**:
- cgo `CFLAGS` pointed at `${SRCDIR}/../c/include` — the parent dir is **outside** the Go module, so a proxy-fetched module has no header.
- the library under `./lib` was git-ignored and never shipped; the README told users to `cargo build` it from the workspace, which only works inside a clone, not from the read-only module cache.

cgo has no build hook and Go has no registry, so the only way a consumer's `go get`+build can find the lib is for it to be committed **inside the module the consumer pulls**. Per the design decision, that module is a separate **`wickra-go`** repo (keeps this repo free of committed binaries), populated by the release pipeline — this PR is the in-repo restructure that makes that possible.

## Changes
- **Vendor the header** at `bindings/go/include/wickra.h` (committed copy of `bindings/c/include/wickra.h`); `CFLAGS` → `-I${SRCDIR}/include`. A **CI drift check** fails if the copy goes stale.
- **Per-platform libraries**: cgo `LDFLAGS` become per `GOOS`/`GOARCH`, linking `${SRCDIR}/lib/<goos>_<goarch>/`.
- **CI** stages the host library into `lib/<goos>_<goarch>/` (`RUNNER_OS`/`RUNNER_ARCH` — note `macos-latest` is arm64) and exports `WICKRA_GO_LIBDIR` for the Windows PATH; libraries stay git-ignored here.
- **README**: install via the `wickra-go` module + a contributor build section.

## Validation
- Local **windows/amd64**: `gofmt` clean, `go vet`, `go build`, `go test` all green against the staged library + vendored header.
- Linux/macOS arches → the 3-OS `Go on …` CI job.

Follow-up (Stage 2, separate): create `wickra-lib/wickra-go` + a `release.yml` mirror job (source + 6 platform libs → `lib/<goos>_<goarch>/`, commit + tag), and point the docs at the new import path. Part of the self-contained gap (`todo-11`).

## Install
Use the published **`wickra-go`** module, which bundles the prebuilt C ABI
library for every platform, so `go get` + `go build` works with no extra steps
(a C compiler is still required, as the binding uses cgo):
```bash
go get github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/bindings/go
go get github.com/wickra-lib/wickra-go
```
The binding uses cgo, so a C compiler is required, and it links against the
prebuilt Wickra C ABI library. Build that library from the workspace and stage
it under this package's `lib/` directory:
```go
import wickra "github.com/wickra-lib/wickra-go"
```
`wickra-go` is generated from this directory by the release pipeline: it mirrors
the Go sources, the vendored C ABI header (`include/wickra.h`) and the prebuilt
libraries under `lib/<goos>_<goarch>/`. On Linux/macOS the library path is baked
in via rpath; on Windows the DLL must be discoverable at run time (next to the
executable or on `PATH`).
### Building from this repository (contributors)
This `bindings/go` directory is the development source. To build it directly,
compile the C ABI and stage the library into the per-platform directory cgo
links against:
```bash
cargo build -p wickra-c --release
cp target/release/libwickra.so bindings/go/lib/ # Linux
cp target/release/libwickra.dylib bindings/go/lib/ # macOS
cp target/release/wickra.dll bindings/go/lib/ # Windows (also on PATH at run time)
mkdir -p bindings/go/lib/linux_amd64 # match your GOOS_GOARCH
cp target/release/libwickra.so bindings/go/lib/linux_amd64/ # Linux
cp target/release/libwickra.dylib bindings/go/lib/darwin_arm64/ # macOS (arm64)
cp target/release/wickra.dll bindings/go/lib/windows_amd64/ # Windows
```
On Linux and macOS the library path is baked in via rpath; on Windows the DLL
must be discoverable at run time (next to the executable or on `PATH`).
