[BUG] Build fails on Illumos

[francescocarzaniga]

Describe the bug

When compiling on Illumos (more specifically OmniOS), the build fails with

# github.com/hpcloud/tail
/root/go/pkg/mod/github.com/hpcloud/[email protected]/tail.go:127:17: undefined: OpenFile
/root/go/pkg/mod/github.com/hpcloud/[email protected]/tail.go:191:20: undefined: OpenFile

This stops owncloud-ocis from building on Illumos.

The issue comes from hpcloud/tail.
Copy pasting what I said in the owncloud ticket:

There has been an issue open in hpcloud/tail for more than a year and a half at this point, and the package itself has not been updated in more than two years. This seems to be a viable fork, whose inclusion would fix the above error.

@asim It seems you already use nxadm/tail but probably have not migrated everything over from hpcloud/tail.

PR a fix?

[francescocarzaniga]

@asim Unfortunately I only have a cursory understanding of Go, I would not touch a codebase this complex. Of course this is not a priority for you - rightfully so - but since you already know the code well nxadm/tail should be a drop-in replacement so it shouldn't be too difficult.
