Description

Let's do what DuckDB does and pre-compile static libraries of libsql in the repository and make cgo link to them:

https://github.com/marcboeker/go-duckdb/tree/master

To do that, let's move Go bindings to a go-libsql-experimental repository.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Go bindings and cgo integration, then compare the linked go-duckdb repository for its pre-compiled static-library approach. Clarify how libsql libraries would be built and distributed and whether moving the bindings to go-libsql-experimental is required before implementation; done means the bindings link against repository-provided libraries.
