build(deps): upgrade go-github to v92.0.0 (#3381)

Migrate all go-github imports and issue comment requests while preserving MCP schemas and payloads. Let v92 escape ruleset branch names exactly once. Refresh dependency license reports and narrowly retain the supported Ptr helper for compatibility with the pinned linter.
