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.
