Vendor Folder

[decanus]

It's usually pretty ugly practice to include folders like vendor in the github repository if this is something every user can easily download with assistance to the package manager.

Unless there is a a reason for this to be include I would vouch for it to be deleted and added to the gitignore.

In Go it's a normal practice. There is an official support for that with go mod vendor. Currently, we test on Go without Go modules support and vendor/ makes it possible. Also, it speeds up CI pipeline as it does not need to download dependencies from the internet every time.

We may get rid of this folder at some point in the future but for now I would keep it.
