Simplify the cmd/http package overall by removing
custom plain text v/s tls connection detection, by
migrating to go1.12 and choose minimum version
to be go1.12
Also remove all the vendored deps, since they
are not useful anymore.
Also add a cross compile script to test always cross
compilation for some well known platforms and architectures
, we support out of box compilation of these platforms even
if we don't make an official release build.
This script is to avoid regressions in this area when we
add platform dependent code.
