docs(cli): bump README "Go 1.22+" prerequisite to "Go 1.26+" (#506)

6e2562d88cf4133303ec1839de989c2c27979c9b · 2026-05-02 10:27:27 -0700 · Trevin Chow

The README claimed Go 1.22+ in two places (the install prereqs and the
limitations section), but go.mod has required 1.26.1 for some time —
verifiable via:

  $ head -3 go.mod
  module github.com/mvanhorn/cli-printing-press/v3
  go 1.26.1

Surfaced when the printing-press-library's CI failed installing the
generator with `setup-go` pinned at 1.25:

  github.com/mvanhorn/cli-printing-press/v3@v3.4.3 requires go >= 1.26.1
  (running go 1.25.9; GOTOOLCHAIN=local)

The library CI got bumped to 1.26 in a separate PR; this fixes the
reader-facing claim so anyone following the README install path on a
1.22-1.25 toolchain doesn't hit a confusing module-fetch failure.
