ci: enhance GitHub workflow with LLVM configuration and macOS support

- Improve CI workflow by updating the job name to "Go tests"
- Configure specific LLVM versions (18) with proper env variables for Linux
- Add proper LLVM configuration for macOS with dynamic library paths
- Make generator step more robust with better error handling and documentation
- Set minimum macOS deployment target to 13.0 to avoid version mismatch warnings
- Add explanatory comments about expected behavior in CI environment
