The golang-github-cznic-strutil package ships upstream code from 2015
and appears unmaintained.  It has no reverse dependencies in Debian,
except for golang-github-cznic-b which has a RM bug open in
https://bugs.debian.org/1145636 and lacks further reverse dependencies.

The upstream project was archived in 2018:

https://github.com/cznic/strutil

This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused
golang-*-dev packages from Debian.  I believe the QA cost associated
with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely
rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is
ever any future need for it.  Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to
keep this package in Debian.
