* fix builds on linux
* Build: Move to CGO_ENABLED=0 (#9057)
After further investigation on cross-compiling Go bins on Linux. I found
that statically linking against GCC (for libc) failed to build for ARM
and introduced a possible licensing issue as our bins would essentially
be bundling libc into the bin. Diving further into cross compiling on Linux
I found that the defacto solution is to compile with CGO disabled - this
was also found to be the case for other HashiCorp products.
Disabling CGO has the limitation of not allowing the use of any pkg that
calls out to C (net, os), but in looking into the Packer code base and
the relevant Go code base it appears that the latest versions of Go have
pure Go implementations of the said packages so I believe we are good to
go. I should also point out that CGO is disabled by default when cross
compiling via `go build`. However, the GOX tool will enable it if it is
not explicitly disabled.
Below are three test cases executed to validate the compile bins work as
expected.

* mapstructure-to-hcl2: when we see a map generate an attribute spec and not a block spec
this will alow to do
tags = {
key = "value"
}
instead of
tags {
key = "value"
}
This will also enable using variables directly for those tags
* generate code
* update tests
* new-from-rev option is showing inconsistent results on circle and
locally. This change moves to a custom command `script/lint.sh` that gets a list of added
go files and pipes them to golangci-lint for testing.
* Add a git fetch as a step before retrieving merge-base changes to fix
the issue described at https://discuss.circleci.com/t/checkout-script-adds-commits-to-master-from-circle-branch/14194/2
* Moved source code out of GOPATH to ensure go mod support and reduce
the risk of having golangci-lint trying to scan all of the files within
GOPATH. This was an issue in the past, in changing it I found less OOM
issues on circle.
* Add retry logic so that the provisioner will retry if it fails to upload/execute because of some restart provisioner step
* Add a testConfigWithSkipClean for testing that the provisioner executes the correct commands
* Add a test case for toggling the "skip_clean" config option
