We were using Godep incorrectly (cloning repos from the internet during
build time instead of including Godeps/_workspace in the GOPATH via
"godep go"). However, to avoid even having to fetch "godeps" from the
internet during build, this now just copies the vendored files into the
GOPATH.
Also, the protocol buffer library moved from Google Code to GitHub,
which is reflected in these updates.
This fixes https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/525
This commit reduces the general compile time dependencies to omit
the Protocol Buffer compiler and the Go Protocol Buffer generator
tool. The build steps to furnish them still remain, but they can
optionally be called if data.proto or config.proto are under work.
