Allows specifying `LD_FLAGS` during development builds.
```
$ LD_FLAGS="-linkmode=external" make dev
```
Since the version of DTrace on macOS Sierra (On the public beta's at least) has been updated, this allows DTrace to run on Terraform during development/debugging.
```
$ sudo dtrace -n 'pid$target::main.main:entry' -c "terraform apply"
dtrace: description 'pid$target::main.main:entry' matched 1 probe
Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
Outputs:
foo = bar
dtrace: pid 23096 has exited
CPU ID FUNCTION:NAME

```
Also redirects the `@which stringer` command inside the `generate` Makefile target to `/dev/null` so we stop echoing the path to the `stringer` binary on every call to `generate`.
Several of our vendered dependencies are not gofmt-compliant, but we don't
want to fix that since the vendored code is supposed to exactly match
upstream.
* Remove `make updatedeps` from Travis build. We'll follow up with more
specific plans around dependency updating in subsequent PRs.
* Update all `make` targets to set `GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1` and to
filter out `/vendor/` from `./...` where appropriate.
* Temporarily remove `vet` from the `make test` target until we can
figure out how to get it to not vet `vendor/`. (Initial
experimentation failed to yield the proper incantation.)
Everything is pinned to current master, with the exception of:
* Azure/azure-sdk-for-go which is pinned before the breaking change today
* aws/aws-sdk-go which is pinned to the most recent tag
The documentation still needs to be updated, which we can do in a follow
up PR. The goal here is to unblock release.
Often when developing a plugin it's only necessary to rebuild that plugin.
Here we add a simple Makefile target that makes that easy:
make plugin-dev PLUGIN=provider-aws
Since it's only building one package and it's only building for the
host architecture, this just uses "go install" directly, rather than using
gox as we do when installing multiple packages, possibly for multiple
architectures.
* update Vagrantfile to modern Consul-style version
* add `make release` for a one-shot command to get from fresh vagrant
machine to a built release
* add RELEASING.md to document details about the release process
This package attempts to install itself to GOROOT which will fail for
non-root users. Most users will have already installed the vet tool via a
system package, so it shouldn't be necessary to 'go get' here.
Moreover, the 'vet' make target already checks that it is installed before
running it, running 'go get' if necessary.
This is the output when running 'make updatedeps' as a regular user
without this change:
```
$ make updatedeps
go get -u github.com/mitchellh/gox
go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer
go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet
go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/vet: open /usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/vet: permission denied
make: *** [updatedeps] Error 1
```
After discussing with the very gracious @cespare over at
https://github.com/cespare/deplist/pull/2 I now understand that we can
pull off the same logic with just `go list`.
The logic is now simpler and more consistent:
* List out all packages in our repo
* For each of those packages, list their dependencies
* Filter out any dependencies that already live in this repo
* Remove duplicates
* And fetch the rest. `go get` will work out all transitive dependencies
from there
Currently when running `make updatedeps` from a branch, the dependency
list from master ends up getting used. We tried to work around this in
35490f7812, and got part way there, but
here's what was happening:
- record the current SHA
- run `go get -f -u -v ./...` which ends up checking out master
- master is checked out early in the `go get` process, which means all
subsequent dependencies are resolved from master
- re-checkout the recorded SHA
- run tests
This works in most cases, except when the branch being tested actually
changes the list of dependencies in some way.
Here we move away from letting `go get -v` walk through everything in
`./...`, instead building our own list of dependencies with the help of
`deplist`. We can then filter terraform packages out from the list, so
they don't get touched, and safely update the rest.
This should solve problems like those observed in #899 and #900.
__Note__: had to add a feature to deplist to make this work properly;

Working on getting it accepted upstream.
Add a vet target in order to catch suspicious constructs
reported by go vet.
Vet has successfully detected problems in the past,
for example, see
482460c4c8fc36b1cd9468a41035a97b704fb77d4f3f85b16595fa353ee94bfe18b40d
Some vet flags are noisy. In particular, the following flags
reports a large amount of generally unharmful constructs:
-assign: check for useless assignments
-composites: check that composite literals used field-keyed
elements
-shadow: check for shadowed variables
-shadowstrict: whether to be strict about shadowing
-unreachable: check for unreachable code
In order to skip running the flags mentioned above, vet is
invoked on a directory basis with 'go tool vet .' since package-
level type-checking with 'go vet' doesn't accept flags.
Hence, each file is vetted in isolation, which is weaker than
package-level type-checking. But nevertheless, it might catch
suspicious constructs that pose a real problem.
The vet target runs the following flags on the entire repo:
-asmdecl: check assembly against Go declarations
-atomic: check for common mistaken usages of the
sync/atomic package
-bool: check for mistakes involving boolean operators
-buildtags: check that +build tags are valid
-copylocks: check that locks are not passed by value
-methods: check that canonically named methods are canonically
defined
-nilfunc: check for comparisons between functions and nil
-printf: check printf-like invocations
-rangeloops: check that range loop variables are used correctly
-shift: check for useless shifts
-structtags: check that struct field tags have canonical format
and apply to exported fields as needed
-unsafeptr: check for misuse of unsafe.Pointer
Now and then, it might make sense to check the output of
VETARGS=-unreachable make vet
manually, just in case it detects several lines of dead code etc.
