Import Path

The name of the github repo is being changed from go to go-codec. This clarifies that this repo is only for the go-codec.

However, this package has always had a stable import path of "github.com/ugorji/go/codec". We CANNOT change that without negatively affecting all our users.

Consequently, we enforce this import path by specifying it in the following files:

• go.mod
• codec/0_importpath.go

If you have a fork and want to change the package path, you will need to modify the above files.
