I don't like this. When I install a tool, I want to use it with their dependency versions at the moment they released it.

When I use `go tool`, it uses whatever I have in go.mod; and, in the opposit way, it will update my go.mod for no real reason.

But some people do this right now with tools.go, so... whatever, it's a better version of tools.go pattern. And I can still do it my preffered way with `go install <tool>@version` in makefile. So, eh.
