// NewBuildInfoCollector returns a collector collecting a single metric
// "go_build_info" with the constant value 1 and three labels "path", "version",
// and "checksum". Their label values contain the main module path, version, and
// checksum, respectively. The labels will only have meaningful values if the
// binary is built with Go module support and from source code retrieved from
// the source repository (rather than the local file system). This is usually
// accomplished by building from outside of GOPATH, specifying the full address
// of the main package, e.g. "GO111MODULE=on go run
// github.com/prometheus/client_golang/examples/random". If built without Go
// module support, all label values will be "unknown". If built with Go module
// support but using the source code from the local file system, the "path" will
// be set appropriately, but "checksum" will be empty and "version" will be
// "(devel)".
//
// This collector uses only the build information for the main module. See
// https://github.com/povilasv/prommod for an example of a collector for the
// module dependencies.
