Module path is not versioned in go.mod

BC Break Report

This package is not versioned in the go.mod

Q	A
Version	v11.0.1

Summary

When I do a get on this package, I get errors indicating that the go.mod had non v11 module path.
This also results in other side effects for teams that have rennovate bot in their workflow.'

For example:

- github.com/asaskevich/govalidator v0.0.0-20230301143203-a9d515a09cc2 // indirect
+ github.com/asaskevich/govalidator/v11 v11.0.1 // indirect

This will not work as the module path doesn't have v11 suffix

Expected behavior

go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator v11.0.1 and go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator.v11 should work

Current behavior

go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator.v11                                                                                  
go: gopkg.in/asaskevich/[email protected]: invalid version: go.mod has non-....v11 module path "github.com/asaskevich/govalidator" at revision v11.0.1

go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator v11.0.1                                                                                 
go: gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator: unrecognized import path "gopkg.in": parse https://gopkg.in/?go-get=1: no go-import meta tags ()
go: unrecognized import path "v11.0.1": https fetch: Get "https://v11.0.1/?go-get=1": dial tcp: lookup v11.0.1: no such host

How to reproduce

Run either of these commands

go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator v11.0.1   

go get gopkg.in/asaskevich/govalidator v11.0.1

Is there a reason for not versioning the module path ?
