This is now a blocker on a recent upstream release of
golang-github-gocql-gocql as well.  I understand the argument about
excluding test data, but there is probably a point at which users would be
better served by a golang-github-pierrec-lz4.v4 without (complete) test
coverage, than they would be without syncthing, or a modern gocql driver.

Perhaps we move forward with a repackaged upstream tarball while waiting
for upstream to fix these issues?
