[release-branch.go1.26] cmd/go: disallow cgo trust boundary bypass

The cgo compiler implicitly trusts generated files
with 'cgo' prefixes; thus, SWIG files containing 'cgo'
in their names will cause bypass of the trust boundary,
leading to code smuggling or arbitrary code execution.

The cgo compiler will now produce an error if it
encounters any SWIG files containing this prefix.

Thanks to Juho Forsén of Mattermost for reporting this issue.


Fixes #78335
Fixes CVE-2026-27140
