go.mod: add replace rule to prevent unwanted updateds of grpc and jwt-go 

This replace rule is to prevent unwanted updates of grpc and jwt-go. When updating
spf13/cobra, we noticed that google.golang.org/grpc got updated.

Doing a search to find which modules (note here that `go mod graph` only looks
at dependencies from a `go modules` perspective, and not all the (current version)
of our dependencies use go modules).

And I found that the only _modules_ depending on it are `github.com/spf13/viper`
and `github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway`:

```bash
$ go mod graph | grep ' google.golang.org/grpc'
github.com/spf13/viper@v1.4.0 google.golang.org/grpc@v1.21.0
github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway@v1.9.0 google.golang.org/grpc@v1.19.0
```

Of those, `github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway` is a dependency of
`github.com/spf13/viper`:

```bash
$ go mod graph | grep ' github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway'
github.com/spf13/viper@v1.4.0 github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway@v1.9.0
```

So looking at that one, it's a dependency of cobra:

```bash
$ go mod graph | grep ' github.com/spf13/viper@v1.4.0'
github.com/spf13/cobra@v1.0.0 github.com/spf13/viper@v1.4.0
```

Ironically, while both `github.com/spf13/viper` and `github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway`,
depend on `google.golang.org/grpc` and (through their `go.mod`) are responsible
for `go mod` to update the dependency version of grpc, none of them are used:

```bash
cat vendor/modules.txt | grep github.com/spf13/viper
cat vendor/modules.txt | grep github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway
```

Unfortunately, `go modules` looks at `go.mod` to determine the *minimum version*
required; _even if the parts of the modules specifying it in the `go.mod` are unused_.

This patch adds a `replace` rule in go.mod to prevent updating grpc based on
other dependencies that _declare_ `google.golang.org/grpc` as a dependency,
but are not used and, hence, should not influence the minumum version.
