Point CI workflows at the ably-pubsub-go sdk-builds role

[umair-ably]

Do not merge until the repository is renamed ably-go → ably-pubsub-go, in the programme's rename freeze window. Merging early points docs.yml and features.yml at the ably-sdk-builds-ably-pubsub-go IAM role, whose OIDC trust is bound to the new repository name, so the credential step would fail. Conversely, once the rename happens the old role name stops matching, so this is a same-window change in both directions.

Why workflows-only

ably-go follows the copy-then-rename route in PDR-091b2: a maintenance copy keeps the ably/ably-go name, and this repo is renamed. Because the old name is reclaimed there is no GitHub redirect, and a Go module path is its repo path. Changing module github.com/ably/ably-go to github.com/ably/ably-pubsub-go rewrites every import in the repo and is a breaking change for consumers, so it belongs with the split (#709) and the new pubsub/core, pubsub/device, pubsub/server packages, not with the rename. The same goes for the README go get line, pkg.go.dev badges/links, UPDATING.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and ably/doc.go.

This PR carries only what the rename itself breaks. Sibling of the rename PRs in the other SDK repos (ably-pubsub-ruby#457 et al.).

What changed

• .github/workflows/docs.yml — role-to-assume → ably-sdk-builds-ably-pubsub-go, and the gopages -source-link base, which links each godoc symbol to its source file in this repo (no redirect once the old name is reclaimed).
• .github/workflows/features.yml — repository-name: ably-pubsub-go.

⚠️ Infrastructure prerequisite

The ably-pubsub-go sdk-builds role exists (infrastructure#13005) but, unlike the other renamed repos, has no ID-qualified OIDC subject in its trust policy. The renamed repo keeps its numeric ID and GitHub issues the ID-qualified subject for repos renamed after 2026-07-15, so without that entry the credential step fails post-rename. Tracked in https://github.com/ably/infrastructure/pull/13087; merge and apply that first.

Post-rename verification

• docs.yml and features.yml runs: AWS credential step succeeds and the upload lands at sdk.ably.com/builds/ably/ably-pubsub-go/main/… (the upload failure mode is silent).
• godoc source links resolve against the renamed repo.
• Merge main into the split branch (pubsub: add device and server packages #709), which carries its own copies of these workflows.
