Analyzer go-live-goroutines

# Name

go-live-goroutines - dump the stacks of the living goroutines

This analyzer captures stack traces of all active goroutines in a running Go application. It generates flame graphs showing the distribution and call stacks of live goroutines, helping developers understand concurrency patterns, detect goroutine leaks, and analyze the runtime behavior of concurrent Go programs. The analyzer is particularly useful for troubleshooting goroutine proliferation and deadlock scenarios.
