Before 1.25, we needed a postinstall to force Go to ignore node_modules. Now, we can just stick it in go.mod.

This also means we can now drop the _ prefix on the dirs, but it's probably too late to change that.

Pull Request Overview

This PR modernizes the project's Go module configuration by replacing a workaround for ignoring directories with the native go.mod ignore directive, available since Go 1.25.

  • Removes the postinstall script that manually created a go.mod file in node_modules to prevent Go from scanning it
  • Adds an ignore directive to go.mod that explicitly lists directories Go should ignore during module operations

When specified without ./, this means "ignore node_modules at any level", which I think is correct in general.
