Fix sqlcmd (Go) documentation accuracy against source code
Validated documentation against microsoft/go-sqlcmd source code and corrected: - -P switch: Now documented as supported (was 'temporarily removed') - -R, -I, -M switches: Changed from 'removed' to 'ignored' with explanations - -N encryption: Updated to show all valid option values from source - Named pipes: Updated to show full protocol support (lpc/np/tcp) - Linux tab: Fixed incorrect 'macOS' reference in sqlcmd-download-install.md Fix sqlcmd (Go) documentation accuracy against source code Corrections made: - Fixed -F flag documentation: -F is for host-name-in-certificate (same as ODBC) - Fixed vertical format: use --vertical (no short flag exists) - Updated notes in both Go and ODBC sections to accurately reflect behavior - Added complete ODBC-compatible flags list (-?) to Go section - Shows both --help (modern commands) and -? (ODBC-compatible flags) - Previous fixes for -P, -r, -R, -I, -M, -N switches remain valid Verified against microsoft/go-sqlcmd source code: - Line 443: -F = host-name-in-certificate - Line 450: --vertical (no shorthand) = vertical format ai-usage: ai-assisted
