vendor/github.com/francoispqt/gojay/Gopkg.lock and vendor/github.com/libp2p/go-cidranger/Gopkg.lock changed. Pinging @corpetty

Keep mind that this change will most probably also require changes to how status-go is built by Nix in status-mobile.

[jakubgs]

As far as I can tell the main problem with this is that we'd have to switch the status-mobile derivation for status-go from using buildGoPackage to use buildGoModule, which in turn requires the vendorSha256 parameter. This is problematic because it would have to be updated every time status-go version is updated, as it is in go-waku for example:

          # FIXME: This needs to be manually changed when updating modules.
          vendorSha256 = "sha256-4xChSKAkwwrFp5/ZMnhtvsR4drVfw1cLE3YXwVHeW0A=";

I even made a thread on Nix Discourse about this:

converting this PR to draft till we figure out a proper way forward.
