gocsv isn't "go get"-able about gocsv

[aotimme]

Apologies for the delayed response. I am open to having gocsv be buildable and installable with go get. I haven't looked into it at all to know what it requires, however. Do you know what it requires?

I'll dig into it and maybe see about a PR.

When trying to go get it, this is the issue:

$ go get -u github.com/DataFoxCo/gocsv
package github.com/DataFoxCo/gocsv: no Go files in /Users/ksumner/projects/go/src/github.com/DataFoxCo/gocsv

I think it's just a small amount of repository shuffling.

As of 2c7bbd7 you can now get gocsv using go get, but because we are using modules (see https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules), it will not install correctly -- in particular, the version and git hash will not be set (those are set in the scripts to build gocsv) and it will not respect the dependency versions as defined by the go.mod and go.sum files.

One way to install gocsv using go get would be to do

# only download (and upgrade) gocsv -- don't actually build/install
go get -d -u github.com/DataFoxCo/gocsv
# build using Makefile
cd ${GOPATH:-~/go}/src/github.com/DataFoxCo/gocsv
make

This will build gocsv at ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/DataFoxCo/gocsv/bin/gocsv and will respect the modules (assuming you are using go version 1.11 or later). You can then move gocsv into your $PATH (e.g. at /usr/local/bin/gocsv).
