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.

// Package view contains support for collecting and exposing aggregates over stats.
//
// In order to collect measurements, views need to be defined and registered.
// A view allows recorded measurements to be filtered and aggregated.
//
// All recorded measurements can be grouped by a list of tags.
//
// OpenCensus provides several aggregation methods: Count, Distribution and Sum.
//
// Count only counts the number of measurement points recorded.
// Distribution provides statistical summary of the aggregated data by counting
// how many recorded measurements fall into each bucket.
// Sum adds up the measurement values.
// LastValue just keeps track of the most recently recorded measurement value.
// All aggregations are cumulative.
//
// Views can be registerd and unregistered at any time during program execution.
//
// Libraries can define views but it is recommended that in most cases registering
// views be left up to applications.
//
// Exporting
//
// Collected and aggregated data can be exported to a metric collection
// backend by registering its exporter.
//
// Multiple exporters can be registered to upload the data to various
// different back ends.
