Tag release according to golang standards

[mooreds]

Using the savant release plugin, I see that this client library has releases (1.29.0, 1.28.0) and tags with the same format.

However, the golang way is to preface the version with a v: v1.29.0. This is documented here: https://blog.golang.org/publishing-go-modules and here: https://golang.org/doc/modules/version-numbers

I reviewed the release git plugin ( http://savantbuild.org/docs/plugins/release-git/ ) but was unable to determine how to modify the build.savant file to prepend that v.

This matters because when you pull in the lib as a go module, you are not able to pull in a specific version by tag. Instead, your go.mod file looks like:

% cat go.mod 
module example.com/test/fusionauth

go 1.16

require github.com/FusionAuth/go-client v0.0.0-20210806213402-4c80b3657d94

Discovered in the course of this: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-site/pull/867

I think this came up before via https://github.com/FusionAuth/go-client/pull/32

I'm not against it I suppose but I think there would be some work to do to make this work smoothly. We have a lot of build tools that check out by tag and we'd have to ensure we have exceptions in all of those tools to prefix this repo with a v from whatever version we were to cut over.

Internal notes: If we wanted to consider this change, it may be a change to the savant plugins as well as is scripts, perhaps other places.

Thought I'd add my "I just hit this when attempting to pin to a specific version using go modules"
