Niels de Vos 91774fc936 rebase: vendor dependencies for Vault API
Uses github.com/libopenstorage/secrets to communicate with Vault. This
removes the need for maintaining our own limited Vault APIs.

By adding the new dependency, several other packages got updated in the
process. Unused indirect dependencies have been removed from go.mod.

# go-sockaddr
## `sockaddr` Library
Socket address convenience functions for Go. `go-sockaddr` is a convenience
library that makes doing the right thing with IP addresses easy. `go-sockaddr`
is loosely modeled after the UNIX `sockaddr_t` and creates a union of the family
of `sockaddr_t` types (see below for an ascii diagram). Library documentation
is available
at
[https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr).
The primary intent of the library was to make it possible to define heuristics
for selecting the correct IP addresses when a configuration is evaluated at
runtime. See
the
[docs](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr),
[`template` package](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr/template),
tests,
and
[CLI utility](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr/tree/master/cmd/sockaddr)
for details and hints as to how to use this library.
For example, with this library it is possible to find an IP address that:
* is attached to a default route
([`GetDefaultInterfaces()`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#GetDefaultInterfaces))
* is contained within a CIDR block ([`IfByNetwork()`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#IfByNetwork))
* is an RFC1918 address
([`IfByRFC("1918")`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#IfByRFC))
* is ordered
([`OrderedIfAddrBy(args)`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#OrderedIfAddrBy) where
`args` includes, but is not limited
to,
[`AscIfType`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#AscIfType),
[`AscNetworkSize`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#AscNetworkSize))
* excludes all IPv6 addresses
([`IfByType("^(IPv4)$")`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#IfByType))
* is larger than a `/32`
([`IfByMaskSize(32)`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#IfByMaskSize))
* is not on a `down` interface
([`ExcludeIfs("flags", "down")`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#ExcludeIfs))
* preferences an IPv6 address over an IPv4 address
([`SortIfByType()`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#SortIfByType) +
[`ReverseIfAddrs()`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#ReverseIfAddrs)); and
* excludes any IP in RFC6890 address
([`IfByRFC("6890")`](https://godoc.org/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr#IfByRFC))
Or any combination or variation therein.
There are also a few simple helper functions such as `GetPublicIP` and
`GetPrivateIP` which both return strings and select the first public or private
IP address on the default interface, respectively. Similarly, there is also a
helper function called `GetInterfaceIP` which returns the first usable IP
address on the named interface.
## `sockaddr` CLI
Given the possible complexity of the `sockaddr` library, there is a CLI utility
that accompanies the library, also
called
[`sockaddr`](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr/tree/master/cmd/sockaddr).
The
[`sockaddr`](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr/tree/master/cmd/sockaddr)
utility exposes nearly all of the functionality of the library and can be used
either as an administrative tool or testing tool. To install
the
[`sockaddr`](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr/tree/master/cmd/sockaddr),
run:
```text
$ go get -u github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr/cmd/sockaddr
```
If you're familiar with UNIX's `sockaddr` struct's, the following diagram
mapping the C `sockaddr` (top) to `go-sockaddr` structs (bottom) and
interfaces will be helpful:
```
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| sockaddr |
| SockAddr |
| |
| +--------------+ +----------------------------------+ |
| | sockaddr_un | | | |
| | SockAddrUnix | | sockaddr_in{,6} | |
| +--------------+ | IPAddr | |
| | | |
| | +-------------+ +--------------+ | |
| | | sockaddr_in | | sockaddr_in6 | | |
| | | IPv4Addr | | IPv6Addr | | |

## Inspiration and Design
There were many subtle inspirations that led to this design, but the most direct
inspiration for the filtering syntax was
OpenBSD's
[`pf.conf(5)`](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pf.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&arch=default&format=html#PARAMETERS) firewall
syntax that lets you select the first IP address on a given named interface.
The original problem stemmed from:
* needing to create immutable images using [Packer](https://www.packer.io) that
ran the [Consul](https://www.consul.io) process (Consul can only use one IP
address at a time);
* images that may or may not have multiple interfaces or IP addresses at
runtime; and
* we didn't want to rely on configuration management to render out the correct
IP address if the VM image was being used in an auto-scaling group.
Instead we needed some way to codify a heuristic that would correctly select the
right IP address but the input parameters were not known when the image was
created.
