When we introduced the go-package infra, we made the assumption that go
would be finely-grained packaged, with one single "go package" per
source tree, and that it would be at the root of the source tree.

The result of these assumptions are clearly visible in two location:

  - support/download/go-post-process expects that the vendoring and the
    go.mod are both at the root of the source tree; see lines 18 and 27;

  - package/pkg-golang.mk also expects that the go package lies at the
    root; see lines 111, 123, 139, and 148.

This restriction could certainly be lifted if support for FOO_SUB_DIR
was to be added to the go-package infra, but it is not straightforward.

When that is done, you'd need a buildroot package for each sub-part of
shellhub you need. Of course, in such a case, even though the different
parts would come from the same source tree, we could not share the
generated source archive with _DL_SUBDIR, becasue the different parts
would not be vendored similarly).

We try to keep a "clean" version string without the decorum used to make
it a git tag, and make that part of the site URL, e.g.:

    SHELLHUB_VERSION = 0.12.3
    SHELLHUB_SITE = $(call github,shellhub-io,shellhub,v$(SHELLHUB_VERSION))
