fix: address review feedback on PR #106

- Replace interface{} with any in github/reviews.go (Go 1.18+ idiom)
- Add default panic case to VCS client init switch
- Refactor supersedeOldReviews to return error instead of os.Exit(1)
- Remove spurious blank lines in formatter.go and formatter_test.go
- Add doc comment to DeleteReview explaining when to use vs DismissReview
- Sanitize extractSentinelName output to prevent log injection
