Seth Hoenig 15fb4c990a deps: Switch to Go modules for dependency management
This PR switches the Nomad repository from using govendor to Go modules
for managing dependencies. Aspects of the Nomad workflow remain pretty
much the same. The usual Makefile targets should continue to work as
they always did. The API submodule simply defers to the parent Nomad
version on the repository, keeping the semantics of API versioning that
currently exists.

# Process List Library for Go [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/mitchellh/go-ps?status.png)](https://godoc.org/github.com/mitchellh/go-ps)
go-ps is a library for Go that implements OS-specific APIs to list and
manipulate processes in a platform-safe way. The library can find and
list processes on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows.
If you're new to Go, this library has a good amount of advanced Go educational
value as well. It uses some advanced features of Go: build tags, accessing
DLL methods for Windows, cgo for Darwin, etc.
How it works:
* **Darwin** uses the `sysctl` syscall to retrieve the process table.
* **Unix** uses the procfs at `/proc` to inspect the process tree.
* **Windows** uses the Windows API, and methods such as
`CreateToolhelp32Snapshot` to get a point-in-time snapshot of
the process table.
## Installation
Install using standard `go get`:
```
$ go get github.com/mitchellh/go-ps
...
```
## TODO
Want to contribute? Here is a short TODO list of things that aren't
implemented for this library that would be nice:
* FreeBSD support
* Plan9 support
