On the canonical repository URL

I changed my GitHub username from @carlmjohnson to @earthboundkid (actually, this was a revert because my username was originally @earthboundkid). Because Go uses URLs for package management, this means that existing packages will continue to use github.com/carlmjohnson/requests (for example) and be automatically redirected to github.com/earthbound/requests. There was a discussion about adding package forwarding to Go, but as of now, this has not been implemented. If package forwarding is added to a future version of Go, the URLs of my repositories may change at that time. I may also choose to change URLs if there is a breaking change to the API of a package. Thank you for bearing with this transition.
