Description
It would be great if some of us Go users can install/update the pscale library by just doing go install github.com/planetscale/cli/cmd/pscale@latest
However, due to the 1 replace directive, go install refuses to install binaries that have a replace directive in them:
$ go install github.com/planetscale/cli/cmd/pscale@latest
go: downloading github.com/planetscale/cli v0.177.0
go: github.com/planetscale/cli/cmd/pscale@latest (in github.com/planetscale/cli@v0.177.0):
The go.mod file for the module providing named packages contains one or
more replace directives. It must not contain directives that would cause
it to be interpreted differently than if it were the main module.
Looking at the go.mod file, there's only one replace clause, which seems like a hopefully small lift (by either changing the import path of the fork), or resolving whatever is being replaced upstream would unable this helpful feature.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with cmd/pscale and the single replace directive in go.mod, then run go install github.com/planetscale/cli/cmd/pscale@latest to reproduce the reported failure. Trace the replaced dependency and verify that the command installs successfully without a replace directive affecting module installation.
