pure go implementation

Let's experiment with removing bitmaskd from the picture and implement it in go.

The needed pieces are:

• simple bonafide implementation. For now we can hardcode the ca.cert and just fetch the openvpn certificate.
• launch firewall/openvpn. This is platform dependent, for now we can just targed linux using the current python bitmask-root and polkit files.
• access openvpn control port. Maybe https://github.com/apparentlymart/go-openvpn-mgmt/ can help.

In a very basic way it works. AFAIK the missing parts to have a working version on linux are:

• turn off and on again doesn't signal status changes anymore
• reconnection of openvpn if network is lost
• get the vpn params from eip-service.json
• do a proper gateway selection
• capture SIGINT to do a good shutdown
