This update provides:
1)  workaround around the build failures. In
summary, it forces the download of some packages during the build
process.
2) update the set of packages that should go inside the vendor
directory
3) Update the dockerfile to use go 1.10

+// Introduction
+// ************
+//
+// The following notes assume that you are familiar with the YAML specification
+// (http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html).  We mostly follow it, although in
+// some cases we are less restrictive that it requires.
+//
+// The process of transforming a YAML stream into a sequence of events is
+// divided on two steps: Scanning and Parsing.
+//
+// The Scanner transforms the input stream into a sequence of tokens, while the
+// parser transform the sequence of tokens produced by the Scanner into a
+// sequence of parsing events.
+//
+// The Scanner is rather clever and complicated. The Parser, on the contrary,
+// is a straightforward implementation of a recursive-descendant parser (or,
+// LL(1) parser, as it is usually called).
+//
+// Actually there are two issues of Scanning that might be called "clever", the
+// rest is quite straightforward.  The issues are "block collection start" and
+// "simple keys".  Both issues are explained below in details.
+//
+// Here the Scanning step is explained and implemented.  We start with the list
+// of all the tokens produced by the Scanner together with short descriptions.
+//
+// Now, tokens:
+//
+//      STREAM-START(encoding)          # The stream start.
+//      STREAM-END                      # The stream end.
+//      VERSION-DIRECTIVE(major,minor)  # The '%YAML' directive.
+//      TAG-DIRECTIVE(handle,prefix)    # The '%TAG' directive.
+//      DOCUMENT-START                  # '---'
+//      DOCUMENT-END                    # '...'
+//      BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START            # Indentation increase denoting a block
+//      BLOCK-MAPPING-START             # sequence or a block mapping.
+//      BLOCK-END                       # Indentation decrease.
+//      FLOW-SEQUENCE-START             # '['
+//      FLOW-SEQUENCE-END               # ']'
+//      BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START            # '{'
+//      BLOCK-SEQUENCE-END              # '}'
+//      BLOCK-ENTRY                     # '-'
+//      FLOW-ENTRY                      # ','
+//      KEY                             # '?' or nothing (simple keys).
+//      VALUE                           # ':'
+//      ALIAS(anchor)                   # '*anchor'
+//      ANCHOR(anchor)                  # '&anchor'
+//      TAG(handle,suffix)              # '!handle!suffix'
+//      SCALAR(value,style)             # A scalar.
+//
+// The following two tokens are "virtual" tokens denoting the beginning and the
+// end of the stream:
+//
+//      STREAM-START(encoding)
+//      STREAM-END
+//
+// We pass the information about the input stream encoding with the
+// STREAM-START token.
+//
+// The next two tokens are responsible for tags:
+//
+//      VERSION-DIRECTIVE(major,minor)
+//      TAG-DIRECTIVE(handle,prefix)
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//      %YAML   1.1
+//      %TAG    !   !foo
+//      %TAG    !yaml!  tag:yaml.org,2002:
+//      ---
+//
+// The correspoding sequence of tokens:
+//
+//      STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//      VERSION-DIRECTIVE(1,1)
+//      TAG-DIRECTIVE("!","!foo")
+//      TAG-DIRECTIVE("!yaml","tag:yaml.org,2002:")
+//      DOCUMENT-START
+//      STREAM-END
+//
+// Note that the VERSION-DIRECTIVE and TAG-DIRECTIVE tokens occupy a whole
+// line.
+//
+// The document start and end indicators are represented by:
+//
+//      DOCUMENT-START
+//      DOCUMENT-END
+//
+// Note that if a YAML stream contains an implicit document (without '---'
+// and '...' indicators), no DOCUMENT-START and DOCUMENT-END tokens will be
+// produced.
+//
+// In the following examples, we present whole documents together with the
+// produced tokens.
+//
+//      1. An implicit document:
+//
+//          'a scalar'
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          SCALAR("a scalar",single-quoted)
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+//      2. An explicit document:
+//
+//          ---
+//          'a scalar'
+//          ...
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("a scalar",single-quoted)
+//          DOCUMENT-END
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+//      3. Several documents in a stream:
+//
+//          'a scalar'
+//          ---
+//          'another scalar'
+//          ---
+//          'yet another scalar'
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          SCALAR("a scalar",single-quoted)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("another scalar",single-quoted)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("yet another scalar",single-quoted)
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+// We have already introduced the SCALAR token above.  The following tokens are
+// used to describe aliases, anchors, tag, and scalars:
+//
+//      ALIAS(anchor)
+//      ANCHOR(anchor)
+//      TAG(handle,suffix)
+//      SCALAR(value,style)
+//
+// The following series of examples illustrate the usage of these tokens:
+//
+//      1. A recursive sequence:
+//
+//          &A [ *A ]
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          ANCHOR("A")
+//          FLOW-SEQUENCE-START
+//          ALIAS("A")
+//          FLOW-SEQUENCE-END
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+//      2. A tagged scalar:
+//
+//          !!float "3.14"  # A good approximation.
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          TAG("!!","float")
+//          SCALAR("3.14",double-quoted)
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+//      3. Various scalar styles:
+//
+//          --- # Implicit empty plain scalars do not produce tokens.
+//          --- a plain scalar
+//          --- 'a single-quoted scalar'
+//          --- "a double-quoted scalar"
+//          --- |-
+//            a literal scalar
+//          --- >-
+//            a folded
+//            scalar
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("a plain scalar",plain)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("a single-quoted scalar",single-quoted)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("a double-quoted scalar",double-quoted)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("a literal scalar",literal)
+//          DOCUMENT-START
+//          SCALAR("a folded scalar",folded)
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+// Now it's time to review collection-related tokens. We will start with
+// flow collections:
+//
+//      FLOW-SEQUENCE-START
+//      FLOW-SEQUENCE-END
+//      FLOW-MAPPING-START
+//      FLOW-MAPPING-END
+//      FLOW-ENTRY
+//      KEY
+//      VALUE
+//
+// The tokens FLOW-SEQUENCE-START, FLOW-SEQUENCE-END, FLOW-MAPPING-START, and
+// FLOW-MAPPING-END represent the indicators '[', ']', '{', and '}'
+// correspondingly.  FLOW-ENTRY represent the ',' indicator.  Finally the
+// indicators '?' and ':', which are used for denoting mapping keys and values,
+// are represented by the KEY and VALUE tokens.
+//
+// The following examples show flow collections:
+//
+//      1. A flow sequence:
+//
+//          [item 1, item 2, item 3]
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          FLOW-SEQUENCE-START
+//          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
+//          FLOW-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
+//          FLOW-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 3",plain)
+//          FLOW-SEQUENCE-END
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+//      2. A flow mapping:
+//
+//          {
+//              a simple key: a value,  # Note that the KEY token is produced.
+//              ? a complex key: another value,
+//          }
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          FLOW-MAPPING-START
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("a simple key",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("a value",plain)
+//          FLOW-ENTRY
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("a complex key",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("another value",plain)
+//          FLOW-ENTRY
+//          FLOW-MAPPING-END
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+// A simple key is a key which is not denoted by the '?' indicator.  Note that
+// the Scanner still produce the KEY token whenever it encounters a simple key.
+//
+// For scanning block collections, the following tokens are used (note that we
+// repeat KEY and VALUE here):
+//
+//      BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
+//      BLOCK-MAPPING-START
+//      BLOCK-END
+//      BLOCK-ENTRY
+//      KEY
+//      VALUE
+//
+// The tokens BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START and BLOCK-MAPPING-START denote indentation
+// increase that precedes a block collection (cf. the INDENT token in Python).
+// The token BLOCK-END denote indentation decrease that ends a block collection
+// (cf. the DEDENT token in Python).  However YAML has some syntax pecularities
+// that makes detections of these tokens more complex.
+//
+// The tokens BLOCK-ENTRY, KEY, and VALUE are used to represent the indicators
+// '-', '?', and ':' correspondingly.
+//
+// The following examples show how the tokens BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START,
+// BLOCK-MAPPING-START, and BLOCK-END are emitted by the Scanner:
+//
+//      1. Block sequences:
+//
+//          - item 1
+//          - item 2
+//          -
+//            - item 3.1
+//            - item 3.2
+//          -
+//            key 1: value 1
+//            key 2: value 2
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 3.1",plain)
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 3.2",plain)
+//          BLOCK-END
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("key 1",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("value 1",plain)
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("key 2",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("value 2",plain)
+//          BLOCK-END
+//          BLOCK-END
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+//      2. Block mappings:
+//
+//          a simple key: a value   # The KEY token is produced here.
+//          ? a complex key
+//          : another value
+//          a mapping:
+//            key 1: value 1
+//            key 2: value 2
+//          a sequence:
+//            - item 1
+//            - item 2
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("a simple key",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("a value",plain)
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("a complex key",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("another value",plain)
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("a mapping",plain)
+//          BLOCK-MAPPING-START
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("key 1",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("value 1",plain)
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("key 2",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          SCALAR("value 2",plain)
+//          BLOCK-END
+//          KEY
+//          SCALAR("a sequence",plain)
+//          VALUE
+//          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 1",plain)
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          SCALAR("item 2",plain)
+//          BLOCK-END
+//          BLOCK-END
+//          STREAM-END
+//
+// YAML does not always require to start a new block collection from a new
+// line.  If the current line contains only '-', '?', and ':' indicators, a new
+// block collection may start at the current line.  The following examples
+// illustrate this case:
+//
+//      1. Collections in a sequence:
+//
+//          - - item 1
+//            - item 2
+//          - key 1: value 1
+//            key 2: value 2
+//          - ? complex key
+//            : complex value
+//
+//      Tokens:
+//
+//          STREAM-START(utf-8)
+//          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
+//          BLOCK-SEQUENCE-START
+//          BLOCK-ENTRY
