protoc-gen-go: use standard library context (requires Go1.9) (#548)

This change effectively makes Go1.9 the minimum required version of Go
when using gRPC since type aliases are needed to truly unify context.
Even though this only affects those who use gRPC, there are other reasons we
need Go1.9 (such as type aliases for import public).

Fixes #537
