This is a part of #3654 that was carved out to make it smaller and easier to understand.
The vcs part of golang.org/x/tools was removed from tools. The vcs code is still available in a separate module with a version marked as "deprecated". Let's use it for now.
What type of PR is this?
Bug fix
What does this PR do? Why is it needed?
Which issues(s) does this PR fix?
You can now upgrade golang.org/x/tools and rules_go will no longer try to use the vcs package from that module.
Note however, that updating golang.org/x/tools still triggers #3640.
To fix this, we need to update
golang.org/x/tools
in rules_go and use the new function signature (as shown in d09bc19).Other notes for review
We should probably vendor this code in the long term.
