[BUG]: Usage of archived go-module

[bendiknesbo]

Tracer Version(s)

1.72.1

Go Version(s)

go version go1.24.0 darwin/arm64

Bug Report

The newest release (1.72.1) is using an archived go-module github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure:
https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-go/blob/v1.72.1/go.mod#L82

There is a blessed fork here: https://github.com/go-viper/mapstructure (Link to the gist where @mitchellh blessed this fork: https://gist.github.com/mitchellh/90029601268e59a29e64e55bab1c5bdc)

DataDog should either migrate every code to use an updated fork, or remove the usages of mapstructure with something else.

👋 Thanks for raising this. This was something on my mind. I will quickly migrate to the blessed fork.

@eliottness Maybe let's consider use this one: https://github.com/gohugoio/hashstructure. The other one, reading the gist, seems to be not the best option (even if blessed).
