invalid module name in go.mod

[cboitel]

What steps did you take:
go get github.com/vmware-tanzu/carvel-ytt@v0

What happened:

go get: github.com/vmware-tanzu/[email protected]: parsing go.mod:
        module declares its path as: github.com/k14s/ytt
                but was required as: github.com/vmware-tanzu/carvel-ytt

What did you expect:
Ability to get the module or install the binary with go install

Anything else you would like to add:
Requires to update module name in go.mod. Without this change, nobody will be able to use ytt as a go library or install it simply using go install standard command.

Environment:

• ytt version (use ytt --version): N/A
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Ubuntu 20.04 LTS + GO 1.17.6

Carvel started out as a suite named "k14s" short for Kubernetes Tools.

Some time back, VMware formally sponsored this project and adopted it into its OSS program. The repository was moved at that time, but the module was not renamed.
We have been tracking this across the suite in vmware-tanzu/carvel#153, but haven't yet made it a priority.

Apologies for the inconvenience. Given that we're seeing more and more folks reach for a programmatic integration, I've prioritized doing this rename, soon: #585

In the meantime, feel free to rely on GitHub's redirection service:

go get github.com/k14s/ytt@v0

FWIW, we have some preliminary guidance around integrating with ytt in this way: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/carvel-ytt/blob/develop/examples/integrating-with-ytt/apis.md

We'll be tracking the rename work in #585; closing this issue, for now. @cboitel, if you need more support here than this, please feel free to continue the conversation here.
