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.

# rootcerts
Functions for loading root certificates for TLS connections.
-----
Go's standard library `crypto/tls` provides a common mechanism for configuring
TLS connections in `tls.Config`. The `RootCAs` field on this struct is a pool
of certificates for the client to use as a trust store when verifying server
certificates.
This library contains utility functions for loading certificates destined for
that field, as well as one other important thing:
When the `RootCAs` field is `nil`, the standard library attempts to load the
host's root CA set. This behavior is OS-specific, and the Darwin
implementation contains [a bug that prevents trusted certificates from the
System and Login keychains from being loaded][1]. This library contains
Darwin-specific behavior that works around that bug.

## Example Usage
Here's a snippet demonstrating how this library is meant to be used:
```go
func httpClient() (*http.Client, error)
tlsConfig := &tls.Config{}
err := rootcerts.ConfigureTLS(tlsConfig, &rootcerts.Config{
CAFile: os.Getenv("MYAPP_CAFILE"),
CAPath: os.Getenv("MYAPP_CAPATH"),
Certificate: os.Getenv("MYAPP_CERTIFICATE"),
})
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
c := cleanhttp.DefaultClient()
t := cleanhttp.DefaultTransport()
t.TLSClientConfig = tlsConfig
c.Transport = t
return c, nil
}
```
