Subject: [PATCH] Be more permissive with 0.x.y dependencies (#756)

By default, dep won't permit updates to minor versions for default
version spec of versions less than 1.0.0. This causes headaches when
combining OpenCensus with other <1.0.0 dependencies, like the GCP SDK.

Since the Gopkg.toml exists primarily to permit ease of use of this
library for dep users, it seems like a better tradeoff to be more
permissive here, rather than force lock-step upgrades all the time.
