In migrating to Go modules, we had to decide between the import paths
github.com/uber-go/atomic and go.uber.org/atomic. We chose the latter.
As a result of this, users of the legacy import path would get an error
message similar to the following:
github.com/uber-go/atomic: github.com/uber-go/atomic@v1.5.0: parsing go.mod:
module declares its path as: go.uber.org/atomic
but was required as: github.com/uber-go/atomic
We suggested that users of the legacy import path add the following to
their go.mod.
replace github.com/uber-go/atomic => go.uber.org/atomic v1.5.0
This is inaccurate and will result in the following error message:
go.uber.org/atomic@v1.5.0 used for two different module paths
(github.com/uber-go/atomic and go.uber.org/atomic)
This was not detected before because `go mod tidy` works fine with this
`replace` directive. It fails only when it gets to `go build`.
After digging into this more, per section 4.4 of the resolution section
of [How can I resolve "parsing go.mod: unexpected module path" (..)][1],
the correct method of resolving this is to downgrade the legacy import
path to a version prior to the use of Go modules.

So the correct `replace` directive here would be,
replace github.com/uber-go/atomic => github.com/uber-go/atomic v1.4.0
This fix was verified both, locally and by @atibhav21 who first ran into
this.
This switches atomic to Go modules. This has the effect of simplifying
the Makefile and the Travis build, as well as getting rid of the overly
complicated coverage script we copied here.
Tools dependencies (currently only golint) were added to the tools.go.
As a result of this change, we no longer support the non-vanity import path
github.com/uber-go/atomic. Users must use the vanity import path, or add a
`replace` directive.
Supersedes #40
