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-homedir

This is a Go library for detecting the user's home directory without the use of cgo, so the library can be used in cross-compilation environments.

Usage is incredibly simple, just call homedir.Dir() to get the home directory for a user, and homedir.Expand() to expand the ~ in a path to the home directory.

Why not just use os/user? The built-in os/user package requires cgo on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code that uses that package cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the use for os/user is just to retrieve the home directory, which we can do for the current user without cgo. This library does that, enabling cross-compilation.
