At a high level, this is what I've done and why:
- I'm moving the protobuf generation for the `protocol`, `discovery` and
`db` packages to the modern alternatives, and using `buf` to generate
because it's nice and simple.
- After trying various approaches on how to integrate the new types with
the existing code, I opted for splitting off our own data model types
from the on-the-wire generated types. This means we can have a
`FileInfo` type with nicer ergonomics and lots of methods, while the
protobuf generated type stays clean and close to the wire protocol. It
does mean copying between the two when required, which certainly adds a
small amount of inefficiency. If we want to walk this back in the future
and use the raw generated type throughout, that's possible, this however
makes the refactor smaller (!) as it doesn't change everything about the
type for everyone at the same time.
- I have simply removed in cold blood a significant number of old
database migrations. These depended on previous generations of generated
messages of various kinds and were annoying to support in the new
fashion. The oldest supported database version now is the one from
Syncthing 1.9.0 from Sep 7, 2020.
- I changed config structs to be regular manually defined structs.
For the sake of discussion, some things I tried that turned out not to
work...
### Embedding / wrapping
Embedding the protobuf generated structs in our existing types as a data
container and keeping our methods and stuff:
```
package protocol
type FileInfo struct {
*generated.FileInfo
}
```
This generates a lot of problems because the internal shape of the
generated struct is quite different (different names, different types,
more pointers), because initializing it doesn't work like you'd expect
(i.e., you end up with an embedded nil pointer and a panic), and because
the types of child types don't get wrapped. That is, even if we also
have a similar wrapper around a `Vector`, that's not the type you get
when accessing `someFileInfo.Version`, you get the `*generated.Vector`
that doesn't have methods, etc.
### Aliasing
```
package protocol
type FileInfo = generated.FileInfo
```
Doesn't help because you can't attach methods to it, plus all the above.
### Generating the types into the target package like we do now and
attaching methods
This fails because of the different shape of the generated type (as in
the embedding case above) plus the generated struct already has a bunch
of methods that we can't necessarily override properly (like `String()`
and a bunch of getters).
### Methods to functions
I considered just moving all the methods we attach to functions in a
specific package, so that for example
```
package protocol
func (f FileInfo) Equal(other FileInfo) bool
```
would become
```
package fileinfos
func Equal(a, b *generated.FileInfo) bool
```
and this would mostly work, but becomes quite verbose and cumbersome,
and somewhat limits discoverability (you can't see what methods are
available on the type in auto completions, etc). In the end I did this
in some cases, like in the database layer where a lot of things like
`func (fv *FileVersion) IsEmpty() bool` becomes `func fvIsEmpty(fv
*generated.FileVersion)` because they were anyway just internal methods.
Fixes#8247
This adds a header with the operating system version, verbatim in
whatever format the operating system reports it, to the upgrade check.
The intention is that the upgrade server can use this information to
filter out (or maybe just mark) potentially unsupported upgrades.
### Purpose
Avoid the issue where the folder marker is deleted by overzealous
cleanup tools because it's just a useless, empty directory.
We create a small file containing a an admonishment to not delete the
directory, and some metadata that is just for human consumption at the
moment. (But it would parse as a valid yaml file if we wanted to read
this, at some point.)
This will only apply when _creating_ a folder marker, that is, existing
setups will not gain the file automatically. Obviously, when using a
custom folder marker none of this applies.
Also, slightly adjust the permission bits for the folder marker directory and file on Unixes, making sure the group & write bits are unset.
### Testing
I've created and deleted a few folders and it appears to behave as I
expect.

This prevents combining untrusted with introducer and auto-accept, and
also verifies that folders shared with untrusted devices have passwords
at config loading time.

This fixes various test issues with Go 1.20.
- Most tests rewritten to use fakefs where possible
- Some tests that were already skipped, or dubious (invasive,
unmaintainable, unclear what they even tested) have been removed
- Some actual code rewritten to better support testing in fakefs

Allow the watcher delay to take fractional values, effectively allowing
for much shorter delays. The minimum value is limited at 0.01, which
effectively translates to 10ms. This is required in order to guarantee
that there is still enough time to aggregate multiple single change
events.

This adds support for syncing extended attributes on supported
filesystem on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD and NetBSD. Windows is currently
excluded because the APIs seem onerous and annoying and frankly the uses
cases seem few and far between. On Unixes this also covers ACLs as those
are stored as extended attributes.
Similar to ownership syncing this will optional & opt-in, which two
settings controlling the main behavior: one to "sync" xattrs (read &
write) and another one to "scan" xattrs (only read them so other devices
can "sync" them, but not apply any locally).

all: Add package runtimeos for runtime.GOOS comparisons
I grew tired of hand written string comparisons. This adds generated
constants for the GOOS values, and predefined Is$OS constants that can
be iffed on. In a couple of places I rewrote trivial switch:es to if:s,
and added Illumos where we checked for Solaris (because they are
effectively the same, and if we're going to target one of them that
would be Illumos...).
The current detection is flawed, because it looks for a few specific
file systems like "msdos" or "fat" to set the mtime window, while in
reality Android seems to report names like "fuseblk", which can stand
for fat, ext4, or even f2fs.
At the moment, we set the mtime window only for a few known names used
for the fat filesystem. With this change, we take a safer approach of
always setting the time window unless we explicitly detect file systems
like ext2/ext3/ex4, which are known not to experience issues with moving
timestamps on Android.

With this change we emulate a case sensitive filesystem on top of
insensitive filesystems. This means we correctly pick up case-only renames
and throw a case conflict error when there would be multiple files differing
only in case.
This safety check has a small performance hit (about 20% more filesystem
operations when scanning for changes). The new advanced folder option
`caseSensitiveFS` can be used to disable the safety checks, retaining the
previous behavior on systems known to be fully case sensitive.

* lib/versioner: Reduce surface area
This is a refactor while I was anyway rooting around in the versioner.
Instead of exporting every possible implementation and the factory and
letting the caller do whatever, this now encapsulates all that and
exposes a New() that takes a config.VersioningConfiguration.
Given that and that we don't know (from the outside) how a versioner
works or what state it keeps, we now just construct it once per folder
and keep it around. Previously it was recreated for each restore
request.

This adds a folder option "CopyOwnershipFromParent" which, when set,
makes Syncthing attempt to retain the owner/group information when
syncing files. Specifically, at the finisher stage we look at the parent
dir to get owner/group and then attempt a Lchown call on the temp file.
For this to succeed Syncthing must be running with the appropriate
permissions. On Linux this is CAP_FOWNER, which can be granted by the
service manager on startup or set on the binary in the filesystem. Other
operating systems do other things, but often it's not required to run as
full "root". On Windows this patch does nothing - ownership works
differently there and is generally less of a deal, as permissions are
inherited as ACLs anyway.
There are unit tests on the Lchown functionality, which requires the
above permissions to run. There is also a unit test on the folder which
uses the fake filesystem and hence does not need special permissions.
This removes the out of disk space check from CheckHealth. The disk space is now
only checked if there are files to pull, in which case pulling those files is
stopped, but everything else (dirs, links, deletes) keeps running -> can recover
disk space through pulling.
