Grant StephensandClaude Sonnet 5 8d10cc9488 feat(go): Create go_prompt_info to add Go version to theme prompts (#8924)
* Create go_prompt_info to add go version to prompts

* golang: move go_prompt_info to plugin, guard and quote output

Addresses review feedback: the prompt helper only belongs to Go
developers, so it moves out of lib/ (sourced for every shell) into
plugins/golang/golang.plugin.zsh. Adds a $+commands[go] guard so
users without Go installed don't spawn a process or see a stderr
error on every prompt render, quotes the version output the same
way the rvm/nvm helpers do so a % can't be read as a prompt escape,
and adds the dummy go_prompt_info stub to
lib/prompt_info_functions.zsh for themes that call it when the
plugin isn't loaded.

For example:

PROMPT="%~$ "
RPROMPT='$(go_prompt_info)'

changes your prompt to:

~/go/project$ ▋                                                     1.22.3
