* test: add comprehensive backward compatibility test suite (TEST-008)

This commit implements a complete backward compatibility test suite to ensure
version-to-version stability and prevent regressions in v1.x releases.

## Implementation

### 1. Compatibility Tests (compatibility_test.go)
- Golden file comparison system for regression detection
- TestBackwardCompatibility_v1_x: Version-specific query validation
- TestBackwardCompatibility_ExistingTestData: Validates existing testdata
- Supports multiple SQL dialects (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle)

### 2. API Stability Tests (api_stability_test.go)
- TestAPIStability_PublicInterfaces: Verifies interface methods remain unchanged
- TestAPIStability_PublicFunctions: Validates function signatures
- TestAPIStability_PoolBehavior: Tests object pool consistency
- TestAPIStability_TokenTypes: Ensures token constants are stable
- TestAPIStability_ParserOutput: Confirms AST structure compatibility
- TestAPIStability_ErrorHandling: Validates error handling behavior
- TestAPIStability_ConcurrentUsage: Tests thread-safety (100 goroutines × 10 iterations)

### 3. Golden Files Structure
- testdata/v{version}/queries.json: Version-specific query benchmarks
- JSON format with shouldPass flag for expected behavior
- v1.5.1 baseline: 20 queries covering core SQL features
  - 15 passing queries (75% coverage)
  - 5 documented parser limitations (recursive CTEs, scalar subqueries, CASE, multiple ORDER BY, IN clause)

### 4. Comprehensive Documentation
- README.md: Complete usage guide, maintenance procedures, CI/CD integration
- Golden file format and versioning strategy
- Breaking vs. non-breaking change guidelines
- Troubleshooting and test coverage goals

## Test Results

All tests pass:
- API stability: 100% (7/7 test suites)
- v1.5.1 compatibility: 75% (15/20 queries, 5 known limitations)
- Existing testdata: 50.9% (58/114 queries across all dialects)
- Concurrent safety: 100% (1000 operations, zero race conditions)

## Benefits

1. Regression Prevention: Detects breaking changes before production
2. API Stability: Ensures public interfaces remain stable in v1.x
3. Safe Refactoring: Enables confident code changes with safety net
4. Documentation: Known parser limitations clearly documented
5. Future Planning: Golden files provide roadmap for missing features

Addresses #TEST-008

* fix: remove unused truncateQuery helper function

Addresses staticcheck lint error U1000 (unused function).
The truncateQuery helper was defined but never called.

* test: address PR review comments for backward compatibility suite

Improvements based on code review feedback:

1. Fix circular token testing logic:
   - Use actual token constants instead of creating from strings
   - Only test tokens exported from token package
   - Properly compare string values of token constants

2. Enhance concurrent test safety:
   - Add result struct with goroutine ID tracking
   - Use dedicated channels for error reporting
   - Properly check for nil tokenizer returns
   - Report detailed error information per goroutine

3. Improve regression error reporting:
   - Include full query metadata in error messages
   - Show Description, Dialect, AddedVersion for context
   - Enhanced known failure logging with reasons
   - Track when previously failing queries start passing

All tests passing with improved error visibility and race condition safety.

+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Implementation Strategy
+
+Due to the extensive size of the new documentation (~2,500+ lines to add), the implementation should be done systematically:
+
+1. **Create comprehensive PR** with all new sections
+2. **Update Table of Contents** with new sections
+3. **Add internal cross-references** between sections
+4. **Review for consistency** with existing sections
+5. **Validate all code examples** compile and run
+6. **Generate searchable index** for quick reference
+
+### File Organization Recommendation
+
+Consider splitting the massive API_REFERENCE.md into multiple files for maintainability:
+
+```
+docs/api/
+├── README.md              # Main API overview
+├── high-level-api.md      # pkg/gosqlx
+├── tokenizer.md           # pkg/sql/tokenizer
+├── parser.md              # pkg/sql/parser
+├── ast.md                 # pkg/sql/ast
+├── keywords.md            # pkg/sql/keywords
+├── models.md              # pkg/models
+├── errors.md              # pkg/errors
+├── metrics.md             # pkg/metrics
+└── examples.md            # Complete examples
+```
+
+However, for DOC-001 completion, adding all content to a single API_REFERENCE.md is acceptable and maintains backward compatibility with existing documentation structure.
