switch to idiomatic constructor pattern

[travbale]

This project currently uses the following constructor pattern in several places:

type StructType struct{}

func (StructType) New() *StructType {
        return &StructType{}
}

This results in construction looking like this in packages outside the models package:

v := pkgname.StructType.New(pkgname.StructType{})

This change converts constructors to a more idomatic style.

type StructType struct{}

func NewStructType() *StructType {
        return &StructType{}
}

This results in a more straight forward construction of types.

v := pkgname.NewStructType()

@travbale I noticed that you removed the version from the go.mod as well as any import statements. What was the specific reasoning for this?

[travbale]

For major versions v0/v1 you typically leave the version information off the module name. When you get to v2 you can append v2 to the end of the module name to distinguish but typically don't add minor or path version. The main reason is as currently written you would have to adjust every import path for every patch version as well. If you forget to do so you may accidentally use old package versions within the module.

Makes sense to me! Thanks for the help on this.
