[pkg-go] Bug#1017982: Consul pending upload

[Martina Ferrari]

Hi all,

So I spent a considerable amount of time trying to update consul to fix 
the pending RC bugs.

I have updated the package to 1.9.17, refreshing patches and improving 
the repository structure, but it requires updating a number of 
dependencies (which might break other things like docker.io), and it 
also seems to require an *older* version of grpc. I really don't have 
time to continue pursuing this, so I have dropped Consul support from 
Prometheus instead.

I have pushed my changes to the git repository, in case anybody wants to 
continue the work.
