Gitea: go-bindata is no longer maintained

[jonasfranz]

go-bindata is no longer maintained as stated here: https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata#warning

We should replace it with a maintained alternative like packr.

[lunny]

But maybe continue with https://github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata ?

[lunny]

I don't like packr build.

[bkcsoft]

@lunny You don't need to run packr build, you could (like we do now with go-bindata) run packr followed by go build :|

And there is another maintained alternative: https://github.com/rakyll/statik

I would suggest fileb0x

Arch Linux uses https://github.com/shuLhan/go-bindata

[sapk]

https://github.com/mjibson/esc is simple to use.

[tboerger]

Esc doesn't support tags, tags are required for gitea.

Just found https://github.com/shurcooL/vfsgen, I think it maybe a better solution than others because it's a library and could be put in vendor and will resolve package dependency on building process. We can write a command with a special build flag which will only be run on build process.

@lunny I tested it a bit some time ago and it does looks quite good: https://github.com/lafriks/gitea-rewrite-experiment/tree/master/modules/template

I'm using filb0x so far for other projects which is working really good.
