The biggest win is that we now declare what versions of each dependency
we require to build. This way, building a certain version of obfs4 will
always use the same source code, independent of the master branch of
each dependency.
This is necessary for reproducible builds. On top of that, go.sum
contains checksums of all the transitive dependencies and their modules,
so the build system will also recognise when the source code has been
changed.
Updated the build instructions accordingly. We don't drop support for
earlier Go versions, but those won't get the benefit of reproducible
builds unless we start vendoring the dependencies too.
