[release-branch.go1.25] 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.
