Make generators to use govendor

[vjsamuel]

On creating my own beat using python .../beats/script/generate.py --type=metricbeat and then running make, it creates a glide.yml and creates the vendor directory with the entire vendor directory. I might not need the entire vendor directory. It would be easier to switch over to govendor and do:

govendor init
govendor add +e

As glide was rather broken for some time we moved away from recommending any vendor solution. I need to check if the glide.yml file is still in their because that should not be :-(

In general I agree on using govendor for this as it would heavily reduce the size of used packages. One worry I have is that it potentially removes some files which are needed (python scripts and Makefile). Best way to find it out is trying. Did you make the switch to govendor in your repo?

Similar to #2997.

Not sure if this still applies. But this will surely change with the support of go modules (#15853).
