Thanks a lot for this diff! I have tested it and deployed it on my
Prometheus metrics server. The Go diff looks good on first glance.

Since I had an unfinished prototype of the same update lying around for
months, I took the opportunity to add something to your diff. My diff on
top of your diff is attached gzipped, as the new distinfo and
modules.inc files are ridiculously large.

In a nutshell, there are the following changes:

- Getting rid of the vendored archive, which is hosted on a server of
  yours by replacing it with go-module(5). Now, a modules.inc file lists
  all the Go dependencies. Got the inspiration from databases/influxdb.
- Use Bash as the shell for scripts/compress_assets.sh, as it uses
  Bashisms and reports warnings during runtime otherwise.

I am now running my patched version of your diff on my Prometheus server
and have not experienced any issues so far. Please consider my change,
as itmakes it making it easier for other people to upgrade Prometheus as
there is no longer another host involved for the distfiles.

Thanks again!

Best,
Alvar
