add go bindings

[nepet]

Hey All,

this PR introduces bindings for Golang (based on the swig framework). Still, an integration in the build process is missing and needed. Maybe someone of you who is more familiar with meson and the gdk build process can help me out here.

Also the notification handler sample is not very useful but we dont need it right now. I might provide a better solution in the future or on request.

Regards,
Peter

Hi @nepet Thanks for this. I'm not familiar with go, would it be possible for you to give the swig, build and test run command lines you are using to get the the test to build/run?

Based on that I should be able to munge it into the meson build, I just need to verify that the resulting test compiles and runs correctly.

Hi @SSGoku369 if you can answer my question above then I can probably help integrate this.

I understand. Well I'm having trouble finding a starting point on the integration. I have not made any progress and would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

@jgriffiths

I think we can run greenaddress_test.go by installing go and running the following command.

1. Confirm go version.

$ go version

go version go1.21.3 darwin/arm64 is my env.

2. init

$ go mod init github.com/Blockstream/gdk/src/swig_go

go: creating new go.mod: module github.com/Blockstream/gdk/src/swig_go
go: to add module requirements and sums:
	go mod tidy

3. add module requirements and sums

$ go mod tidy

4. Running SWIG with Go

$ swig -go -cgo swig_gasdk.i

5. test examples

$ go test
