Delete vendor folder from source control #38

Vendor folder is not required, since go mods where introduced, so it is just redundant in version control.

It's required, actually, because:

with the vendor directory, everyone is able to build this software with no internet connection (after cloning the repo)
if some dependency disappear from the original repository, the code is still "buildable"

Note that the "Go module proxy" from Google is not solving the second problem because:

it's not caching every possible module (see the last FAQ in the web page)
some people can't use it (geoblocking, etc.), or don't want to use it
