Go: update interface{} to any

[mvndaai]

After go.1.18 you can use any and interface{} are interchangeably.

I would love the change so when I do a ctrl+F and look for styles around how interfaces should work I don't get false positives.

The style guide already prefers the use.

I would just want the examples here updated
