third_party: goimports: apply import grouping patch
This allows developers to build //:goimports and point their IDE/editor
to it to easily conform to the import style guide.
We also document how to run this tool in CODING_STANDARDS.md.
Integration with IntelliJ is TBD.

+A styleguide compliant fork of `goimports` (itself a superset of `gofmt`) can be built by running:
+
+ $ bazel build //:goimports
+
+The resulting binary can then be copied to anywhere in the filesystem (eg. $HOME/bin/goimports-monogon) and any editor which supports gofmt/goimports integration can be pointed at this tool to automatically reformat files to the required format.
