Péter Szilágyi 289b30715d Godeps, vendor: convert dependency management to trash (#3198)
This commit converts the dependency management from Godeps to the vendor
folder, also switching the tool from godep to trash. Since the upstream tool
lacks a few features proposed via a few PRs, until those PRs are merged in
(if), use github.com/karalabe/trash.

You can update dependencies via trash --update.

All dependencies have been updated to their latest version.

Parts of the build system are reworked to drop old notions of Godeps and
invocation of the go vet command so that it doesn't run against the vendor
folder, as that will just blow up during vetting.

The conversion drops OpenCL (and hence GPU mining support) from ethash and our
codebase. The short reasoning is that there's noone to maintain and having
opencl libs in our deps messes up builds as go install ./... tries to build
them, failing with unsatisfied link errors for the C OpenCL deps.

golang.org/x/net/context is not vendored in. We expect it to be fetched by the
user (i.e. using go get). To keep ci.go builds reproducible the package is
"vendored" in build/_vendor.

// Package notify implements access to filesystem events.
//
// Notify is a high-level abstraction over filesystem watchers like inotify,
// kqueue, FSEvents, FEN or ReadDirectoryChangesW. Watcher implementations are
// split into two groups: ones that natively support recursive notifications
// (FSEvents and ReadDirectoryChangesW) and ones that do not (inotify, kqueue, FEN).
// For more details see watcher and recursiveWatcher interfaces in watcher.go
// source file.
//
// On top of filesystem watchers notify maintains a watchpoint tree, which provides
// strategy for creating and closing filesystem watches and dispatching filesystem
// events to user channels.
//
// An event set is just an event list joint using bitwise OR operator
// into a single event value.
//
// A filesystem watch or just a watch is platform-specific entity which represents
// a single path registered for notifications for specific event set. Setting a watch
// means using platform-specific API calls for creating / initializing said watch.
// For each watcher the API call is:
//
// - FSEvents: FSEventStreamCreate
// - inotify: notify_add_watch
// - kqueue: kevent
// - ReadDirectoryChangesW: CreateFile+ReadDirectoryChangesW
// - FEN: port_get
//
// To rewatch means to either shrink or expand an event set that was previously
// registered during watch operation for particular filesystem watch.
//
// A watchpoint is a list of user channel and event set pairs for particular
// path (watchpoint tree's node). A single watchpoint can contain multiple
// different user channels registered to listen for one or more events. A single
// user channel can be registered in one or more watchpoints, recurisve and
// non-recursive ones as well.
