Change to Mage so we can have CI run on other OSes about seed HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @joe-getcouragenow ,

First of all, thanks for the feedback.

Initially this template was using Mage. See: https://github.com/golang-templates/seed/tree/v0.1.1
It has been removed mainly, because I got a lot of feedback from the community that they prefer Make and this is the most popular tool used to automate builds in Go.

Personally I have been experimenting a bit with Mage and while I like that it is Go I dislike the design that it is more like a framework (I would prefer to have a library), it is hard to debug (even the author admitted that he was never doing it) and its parallel dependencies are not really helpful as Mage does not provide any way to synchronize targets' output that is run in parallel. I find Mage to magical (even as the name suggests 😄 ). That are only a few stuff that I dislike after playing a few weeks with Mage.

I plan to experiment with creating a PoC library https://github.com/pellared/taskflow for making build pipelines in Go as CLI apps that would address stuff that I dislike in Mage. Maybe I will even create it in following days. I will let you know when I have something so you can give me some feedback. Still I would probably not use this library in this template as I favor community standards over my own preferences.

@joe-getcouragenow Can you review https://github.com/pellared/taskflow and tell if you think I should use it here?

@joe-getcouragenow There was no issue running anything on other OSes. See: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/Windows2019-Readme.md
