Adding Pushover notifications to Claude Code

There are times that you're away from your machine - or you've got so many terminal sessions you've not seen a notification - to say that your agent is waiting for input. Although there are ways to get first-class support for this - for instance Claude Code's Remote Control (which only works if using a Claude Code subscription, i.e. Bedrock users don't get access to it) - I wanted to write a tiny bit of Go code today, and thought I'd hand-roll some notifications.
