Terraform-provider-vault: Transitioning to Go Modules

[tyrannosaurus-becks]

https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-vault/pull/206 brings rise to a discussion regarding Go Modules. A useful background is located here.

I am decidedly in favor of transitioning to Go Modules. However, they are a new and experimental feature, and there are some known issues such as this.

The purpose of this ticket is to gain community input on if, when, and how this repo should be transitioned to Go Modules.

IMO all providers should follow on Terraform Core for these large scale changes.
Ofc they are able to evolve independently and faster than Terraform Core (and I think that's the general direction Hashicorp is aiming with Core changes), but I'd say to stick with Go version and same tooling that Core uses.

Its currently planned to transition the AWS provider to Go modules as part of the new RPC framework and HCL dependency updates with the Terraform 0.12 upgrade 🔜 .

If transitioning, I would encourage continuing to vendor dependencies via go mod vendor after the transition until stable Go module caches are deployed.

Closing, as this was completed.
