Improve Go API consistency review output

[Ben Griffin (griffinbird)]

Why

Make automated parity reviews faster for the Golang compiler team to verify and act on. The workflow now makes its scope and evidence explicit, and avoids low-confidence or duplicate inline comments.

Changes

• Classify each review as public API, user-visible behavior, examples, and/or internal-only.
• Require summary comments to include the changed Go contract, exact upstream .NET/Python evidence, and a clear result.
• Require inline findings to cite the specific upstream source, symbol, test, or sample supporting the mismatch.
• Limit inline findings to high-confidence, actionable issues.
• Consolidate repeated instances of the same root cause into one representative comment with the complete affected scope.
• Regenerate the workflow lock with the repository's existing gh-aw v0.83.4 baseline.

Impact

This does not change triggers, permissions, labels, required human approvals, or merge behavior. It improves the information available before the Golang compiler team performs its required review.

Changed Go contract: None
Upstream evidence reviewed: N/A — no Go source changes
Result: Out of scope

This PR modifies only .github/workflows/go-api-consistency-review.md and the associated .lock.yml file. No exported Go APIs, user-visible behavior, or examples/ content were changed. Cross-repo parity review does not apply.

Ben Griffin (@griffinbird) Apologies but are you able to rebase?

[Ben Griffin (griffinbird)]

Rebased onto the latest main and resolved the workflow conflict by preserving the newer port-review behavior. I also regenerated the lock file with the repository's gh-aw v0.83.4 baseline.
