Optionally exclude sources from binary

[rgmz]

Description:

Inspired by https://trufflesecurity.com/blog/introducing-trufflehog-s-burp-suite-extension-a-techical-deep-dive:

Extension size bloat: TruffleHog is ~170Mb.

Pros

• Significantly reduces how long it takes to run go build due to sources I don't use
• Lets me build an 80Mb binary (saving between 50-70Mb)

$ go build -tags "no_circleci,no_docker,no_elasticsearch,no_gcs,no_git,no_github,no_gitlab,no_huggingface,no_jenkins,no_postman,no_s3,no_syslog,no_travisci" -ldflags="-s -w"
$ ls -lh ./trufflehog
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 user user 80M Mar 13 22:39 ./trufflehog

Cons

• Awkward; adds a separate _disabled.go file for each source
• Niche feature

Checklist:

• Tests passing (make test-community)?
• Lint passing (make lint this requires golangci-lint)?

@rgmz What sources do you use?

It varies, but usually only Filesystem or Git/GitHub.

The binary shrinks another ~10Mb if you exclude analyzers & TUI.

$ go build -tags "no_tui,no_circleci,no_docker,no_elasticsearch,no_gcs,no_git,no_github,no_gitlab,no_huggingface,no_jenkins,no_postman,no_s3,no_syslog,no_travisci" -ldflags="-s -w"
$  ls -lh ./trufflehog

I'm fine to revert that commit: I care more about sources.
