Potential fix for https://github.com/linxGnu/grocksdb/security/code-scanning/1

The fix for this issue is to add a permissions block to the workflow file, specifying only the minimal privileges necessary for the workflow to function correctly. For a typical Go CI workflow that checks out code, fetches dependencies, runs tests, and posts coverage to Coveralls, the default permission required is contents: read, unless any step actually writes to the repository, issues, or pull requests (e.g., commenting on PRs). Coveralls can comment on pull requests if so configured, but if not, only contents: read is generally sufficient. The best approach is to add permissions: contents: read at the workflow root (just after name: CI), which will apply to all jobs unless further permissions are specified for particular jobs. If analysis of the workflow finds that it needs additional permissions (e.g., for commenting on PRs), you can extend the block or add more granular permissions to the relevant job. For now, add the minimal configuration at the root of .github/workflows/go.yml.
