Migrating away from Godeps

[Kubuxu]

Many packages in Godeps are our own (ipfs, whyrusleeping) so we should easily be able to push the to gx, others are external but we also can push them to gx.

Question is: do we want to do that, if yes what should be the time frame as it will be quite a bit of work. There are, as for today, 54 packages in Godeps.

Note: Migrating github.com/ipfs/go-datastore will cause me some grief with pull request #2634.

[Kubuxu]

github.com/ipfs/go-datastore has quite a lot of godeps and deps on its own so it will take a while.

gx install is now broken on Windows when ipfs's source's root is somewhat deeply nested. For example this is too deep: C:\Projects\Go\src\github.com\ipfs\go-ipfs
