Support golang 1.9

[siebertm]

We have a go 1.9 project which uses type aliases. The current codeclimate-golint version does not seem to support golang 1.9:

Could not lint file: /code/hl7/hl7.go
Error /code/hl7/hl7.go:13:14: expected type, found '=' (and 4 more errors)

The respective line is

type Segment = hl7.Segment

Can the engine be updated to support that?

Hi @siebertm,

Thanks for the report. We've just released a new version of this plugin that should have an updated version of golint: if you're using codeclimate.com you should be getting analysis from the new version already. If you're using our CLI, you'll need to run codeclimate engines:install to get the new version.

Please let me know if the new version is working better for you.

#19 does not fix this issue, because to support Go 1.9, golint has to be compiled with Go 1.9. (and alpine:3.4 does not ship with Go 1.9. (looks like even alpine 3.6 only has Go 1.8.3)

there is golang:1.9-alpine, which might work as a base image. (Dockerfile)
