[Scion] Unable to run SCION after update

Hi Siddharth,
We didn't touch scion-apps/lib/scionutil and it still exists. If you are
building scion-apps in a SCIONLab VM, these are the steps you would need:
- install go 1.11
- `go get github.com/kardianos/govendor`
- `sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev`  (needed by SCION ssh)
- clone scion-apps
- `govendor sync -v`  (this needs some 5 minutes to complete). You can run
./deps.sh instead, it is going to do the same.
- `make`

I just ran these steps myself inside a SCIONLab VM and it worked okay.
Best regards,

Juan A.
