See #10825.
Try to match more closely the build process followed upstream:
- Force module build mode, which builds the latest stable release (not master),
and takes care of module replacements.
- Disable cgo.
- The -trimpath argument to go get requires go >= 1.13, which is also needed
because go <= 1.12 has a bug that causes problems with golangci-lint², as
explained in the golangci-lint installation instructions².
Note that the only thing that is missing to exactly match the upstream build
process is the addition of some -X variables, which only affect the data
reported by golangci-lint version.
