Recognize go.mod as a dependency file
Problem to solve
As of Go 1.11, go.mod files are used to identify modules (what Go calls packages) and manage dependencies, like package.json, Gemfile, etc. go.sum files are used like package_lock.json. GitLab should recognize these files as such and link dependencies.
