Description
Bug Report Checklist
If you define a type that references (embeds) itself, the generated code looks like this
type Object struct{
object Object
}
The embedded type needs to be a pointer. This is broken in 7.3.0

Research direction
Start in the Go generator's handling of self-referencing embedded types and reproduce the report using the Object example against openapi-generator 7.3.0. Done means generated Go code represents the self-reference as a pointer and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
