Paddy 961c878e0d Switch to using Go modules. (#2679)
Switch to using Go modules.

This migrates our vendor.json to use Go 1.11's modules system, and
replaces the vendor folder with the output of go mod vendor.

The vendored code should remain basically the same; I believe some
tree shaking of packages and support scripts/licenses/READMEs/etc.
happened.

This also fixes Travis and our Makefile to no longer use govendor.

# lz4
LZ4 compression and decompression in pure Go.
## Usage
```go
import "github.com/pierrec/lz4"
```
## Description
Package lz4 implements reading and writing lz4 compressed data (a frame),
as specified in http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2013/04/lz4-streaming-format-final.html.
This package is **compatible with the LZ4 frame format** although the block level compression
and decompression functions are exposed and are fully compatible with the lz4 block format
definition, they are low level and should not be used directly.
For a complete description of an lz4 compressed block, see:
http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2011/05/lz4-explained.html
See https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4 for the reference C implementation.
