Gogo protobuf is deprecated. Move away from it.

Also updated dependencies.

you need to consider downstream consumers who are probably still using gogo with the generated code, which are likely to break.

So if you want to kill gogo, you have to do it in the consumers as well, and this quickly becomes quite a large project in itself.

Note: I am not suggesting that we should keep gogo, by all means it is deprecated and we should move away from it, just pointing out that it is not trivial.

Yes, I am moving go-libp2p-kad-dht away from gogo, and there is a dependency on go-libp2p-record. The plan is to make a new release of go-libp2p-record so that consumers can move away from gogo when they are ready.
