Huge amount of (unnecessary) dependencies

Hi @franciscojavierodins,

while running the IP check for DLT-Hyperledger-Fabric we noticed that there's a huge! amount of dependencies. Many of them are the same library but in different (minor) versions. E.g. more than 1200 dependencies here: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse-research-labs/hyper-ai-project/dlt-hyperledger-fabric/-/blob/main/fabric-samples/asset-transfer-basic/chaincode-external/go.sum

Can you doublecheck that and clean up / remove unnecessary dependencies?

Thanks! cc @asgomes
