This patch adds a special, internal, "codependencies" package that allows us to specify minimum required versions for modules we don't directly depend on. Downside: * Anyone using this module will also have to download these deprecated modules. Upside: * After upgrading this module, all "codependencies" will automatically be upgraded to compatible versions. * If unused, codependencies will _not_ end up bloating the binary size. This is because "usage" is computed at the import/package layer, while module version requirements are computed at the module layer.

Problem: Updating go-multiaddr without updating go-multiaddr-net and/or go-maddr-filter can cause conflicting type issues.
Proposal: Add "dependencies" on these modules (circular module dependencies are perfectly legal), but avoid actually importing any packages.
