Packaging github.com/jesseduffield/gocui [#1099808]

The package was introduced in 2019, but removed due to no rdeps for a long time.

• Debian BTS : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=both;src=golang-github-jesseduffield-gocui
• Debian Tracker : https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-jesseduffield-gocui

We should re-introduce this removed package with the latest version.

[jmkim]

Note: Although this package is fork of jroimartin/gocui which is already in Debian, there is a lot of commits and ongoing activities in jesseduffield/gocui.

So it might be more make sense that we re-introduce this into Debian again.

For now, one of the way to handle this could be repack.

Forwarded to upstreams:

• Remove Project Gutenberg header to make the file free gocui#76
• Remove Project Gutenberg header to make the file free jroimartin/gocui#254

Since the file isn't used by tests (it's just part of the examples, so it doesn't matter if it's there or not), I've repacked it out. @jmkim please have a look and let me know once you're happy for me to upload.
