Fix Go cookbook recipes to use correct SDK API

All 5 Go recipes and their markdown docs used incorrect API patterns
that don't match the real github.com/github/copilot-sdk/go v0.1.23:

- copilot.NewClient() -> copilot.NewClient(nil) (*ClientOptions param)
- client.Start() -> client.Start(ctx) (context.Context required)
- copilot.SessionConfig -> &copilot.SessionConfig (pointer required)
- session.On(func(event copilot.Event)) -> session.On(func(event copilot.SessionEvent))
- Type assertions -> event.Type string check + *event.Data.Content deref
- session.WaitForIdle() -> session.SendAndWait(ctx, ...) (WaitForIdle doesn't exist)
- copilot.SystemMessage -> copilot.SystemMessageConfig

All 5 recipes verified to compile against SDK v0.1.23.
