Currently the repositiory is using "glide" for go version dependency.
The standard with more recent go projects is "go module".

This commit modifies the project to use the go module style.

== Design Notes
=== Package Name

Because the package is to be maintained by littleman.co going forward,
it uses the littleman.co package name spec.

=== Renaming the project

This commit also continues the project of renaming the project "boilr" →
"oilr". Future work will continue this process as references to boilr
become more apparent.

This commit rewrites the README for this project.

The author has been going back and fourth between whether to try and
find a replacement for this project or not; cookiecutter being the most
promising alternative.

Currently there is a problem with boilr in that it does not allow the
double hyphen (--) in the path name.

This pattern is useful in GitHub to simulate a directory path where
GitHub otherwise does not allow one.
