Title:
  Vendor golang-* build dependencies

Status in google-guest-agent package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in google-osconfig-agent package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The packages are agents for the Google Cloud Platform and require
  prompt updates including SRUs to ensure proper integration of Ubuntu
  Instances to the cloud infrastructure.

  The Go build dependencies include several Go projects which don't have
  fully coordinated release schedules and this makes upgrading them
  without breaking other packaged software hard and sometimes
  impossible.

  To work around the problem of upgrading all related Go packages in the
  archive just for the cloud-specific agents and to make SRUs less risky
  it was decided to vendorize the Go build dependencies using versions
  used by upstream.
