Simplify travis-ci build

[wfscheper]

This change avoids the need to copy the source out of the GOPATH by
applying GO111MODULE=on as an environment variable. Additionally, avoids
issues with parallel module downloads (see golang/go#26794 and
golang/go#27372) by running 'go mod download' during the install step.

I used hugo's magefile as an example for converting one of my own projects from make, and ran into many of the same issues with travis, go modules, and mage that you experienced. I thought you might be interested in this alternative solution.

There are no issues in with parallel builds in the current setup. This is handled in the Mage script (where it belongs). Also, are you really sure that running with GO111MODULE=on is exactly the same as the existing setup? I say this because I much prefer a correct but a bit longer Travis script than a short variant with different behaviour. If you look at the Git history of that fie, you may understand that this is a leading question.

Ah, I didn't see where you addressed the parallel build problem in the magefile. I'll take another look. My issue was cropping up intermittently due to collisions between go fmt and go vet fetching the same modules. My understanding is that setting GO111MODULE to 'on' makes go use the module behavior regardless of whether it is run in the GOPATH. I can double check that and link to the relevant docs later tonight.

module behavior regardless of whether it is run in the GOPATH.

Yes, I have read the docs on this. Which is why this variable is also set in the mage file. But I have spent a stupid amount of time testing different variations of this, and my conclusion was that the only way to get the correct version of mage via go get (i.e. the version in go.mod) was to have the project live outside of GOPATH.

Yes, but setting GO111MODULE in the magefile only applies when running mage, not when fetching mage with go get prior to the build.

On the off chance that it matters, here's the output of a bash session that verifies GO111MODULE=on makes go get do the correct thing even in $GOPATH/src:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
