debugger: Improve Go support (#31559)

Supersedes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31345 
This PR does not have any terminal/console related stuff so that it can
be solved separately.

Introduces inline hints in debugger:

/>
Adds locators for go, so that you can your app in debug mode:

As well is allows you to specify an existing compiled binary:

/>

Release Notes:

- Added inline value hints for Go debugging, displaying variable values
directly in the editor during debug sessions
- Added Go debug locator support, enabling debugging of Go applications
through task templates
- Improved Go debug adapter to support both source debugging (mode:
"debug") and binary execution (mode: "exec") based on program path
