feat(go-sdk): add rate limiter with exponential backoff and circuit breaker

[VedantMadane]

Summary

Adds production-grade rate limiting to the Go SDK AI client to match functionality in Python and TypeScript SDKs. Implements exponential backoff with jitter and circuit breaker pattern for resilient AI API calls.

Changes

New Files

• sdk/go/ai/rate_limiter.go - Rate limiter implementation (373 lines)
• sdk/go/ai/rate_limiter_test.go - Comprehensive test suite (18 tests, all passing)
• sdk/go/ai/RATE_LIMITER_USAGE.md - Usage documentation and examples

Modified Files

• sdk/go/ai/config.go - Added rate limiter configuration options
• sdk/go/ai/client.go - Integrated rate limiter into Complete() and StreamComplete() methods
• sdk/go/ai/README.md - Added rate limiter feature documentation

Features

✅ Exponential Backoff: Delays increase exponentially (1s → 2s → 4s → 8s...)
✅ Jitter: Container-specific randomization prevents thundering herd
✅ Circuit Breaker: Opens after N consecutive failures, prevents cascade
✅ Automatic Detection: Identifies rate limit errors from status codes and error messages
✅ Configurable: All parameters tuneable via ai.Config
✅ Opt-out: Can be disabled with DisableRateLimiter flag

Developer Experience

// Enabled by default with sensible defaults
agent, err := agentfield.New(agentfield.Config{
    NodeID: "my-agent",
    AIConfig: &ai.Config{
        Model:  "gpt-4o",
        APIKey: os.Getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
        // Rate limiting works automatically
    },
})

// Customize if needed
agent, err := agentfield.New(agentfield.Config{
    NodeID: "my-agent",
    AIConfig: &ai.Config{
        Model:  "gpt-4o",
        APIKey: os.Getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
        
        // Custom configuration
        RateLimitMaxRetries:         10,
        RateLimitBaseDelay:          time.Second,
        CircuitBreakerThreshold:     3,
    },
})

Testing

All tests pass (176 total, 18 new):

go test ./... -v

New test coverage includes:

• Exponential backoff calculation
• Circuit breaker state transitions
• Rate limit error detection
• Retry logic with success/failure scenarios
• Context cancellation handling
• Edge cases (zero retries, alternating errors, etc.)

Reference Implementation

Based on Python SDK rate_limiter.py with Go-idiomatic patterns:

• Functional options pattern
• Error wrapping with errors.Is()
• Context-aware cancellation
• Channel-based streaming support

Compatibility

• ✅ Backward compatible - existing code works unchanged
• ✅ Opt-in/opt-out - can be disabled if needed
• ✅ No breaking changes

Documentation

See RATE_LIMITER_USAGE.md for:

• Configuration examples
• Production best practices
• Error handling patterns
• Comparison with Python SDK
