James Bardin cfa299d2ee Update deps in unknown state and rever nomad
Nomad was manually updated, so revert that to the version in master,
remove it from vendor.json and add it to the ignore list.

Update all packages that were in an unknown state to their latest master
commits.

# Humane Units [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dustin/go-humanize.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dustin/go-humanize) [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/dustin/go-humanize?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/dustin/go-humanize)
Just a few functions for helping humanize times and sizes.
`go get` it as `github.com/dustin/go-humanize`, import it as
`"github.com/dustin/go-humanize"`, use it as `humanize`
See [godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/dustin/go-humanize) for
complete documentation.
## Sizes
This lets you take numbers like `82854982` and convert them to useful
strings like, `83MB` or `79MiB` (whichever you prefer).
Example:
```go
fmt.Printf("That file is %s.", humanize.Bytes(82854982))
```
## Times
This lets you take a `time.Time` and spit it out in relative terms.
For example, `12 seconds ago` or `3 days from now`.
Example:
```go
fmt.Printf("This was touched %s", humanize.Time(someTimeInstance))
```
Thanks to Kyle Lemons for the time implementation from an IRC
conversation one day. It's pretty neat.
## Ordinals
From a [mailing list discussion][odisc] where a user wanted to be able
to label ordinals.
0 -> 0th
1 -> 1st
2 -> 2nd
3 -> 3rd
4 -> 4th
[...]
Example:
```go
fmt.Printf("You're my %s best friend.", humanize.Ordinal(193))
```
## Commas
Want to shove commas into numbers? Be my guest.
0 -> 0
100 -> 100
1000 -> 1,000
1000000000 -> 1,000,000,000
-100000 -> -100,000
Example:
```go
fmt.Printf("You owe $%s.\n", humanize.Comma(6582491))
```
## Ftoa
Nicer float64 formatter that removes trailing zeros.
```go
fmt.Printf("%f", 2.24) // 2.240000
fmt.Printf("%s", humanize.Ftoa(2.24)) // 2.24
fmt.Printf("%f", 2.0) // 2.000000
fmt.Printf("%s", humanize.Ftoa(2.0)) // 2
```
## SI notation
Format numbers with [SI notation][sinotation].
Example:
```go
humanize.SI(0.00000000223, "M") // 2.23nM
```
