Prometheus 2.0 dynamically linked on Linux

[brian-brazil]

When I build the dev-2.0 branch via make, I'm getting a dynamically linked binary. This should be static.

We should figure out what's going wrong.

Heres why: prometheus/promu#60

I tried to hack this in: #2460 but closed it.

From @mxinden's comment on the linked issue, I think to build static binaries, we need to have write access to $GOROOT. Alternatively we could use docker, but that looks like a harder requirement.

The same happens to 1.0 also, btw.

We've already got a bug for that, so no need to keep this one open. Sounds like it'll be fixed in Go 1.10.
