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
### Purpose
The primary aim of this change is to minimize log clutter in production
environments. There are many lines in the logs coming from an expected
race condition when two devices connect `already connected to this
device`. These messages do not indicate errors and can overwhelm the log
files with unnecessary noise.
By lowering the logging level, we enhance the usability of the logs,
making it easier for users and developers to identify actual issues
without being distracted
### Testing
1. Build syncthing locally
2. Start two Syncthing instances
```bash
./syncthing -no-browser -home=~/.config/syncthing1
./syncthing -no-browser -home=~/.config/syncthing2
```
3. Enable the DEBUG logs from UI for `connections` package
4. Connect the synching instances by adding remote devices from the UI
5. Observe the logs for the message `XXXX already connected to this
device`

`Some short description (fixes#1234)` where 1234 is the issue number.
-->
### Testing
I've manually tested it by running syncthing with these changes locally
and examining the returned metrics from `/metrics`.
I've done the following things:
- Connect & disconnect a device
- Increase & decrease the number of connections and verify that the
value of the metric matches with the amount displayed in the GUI.

This pull request allows syncthing to request an IPv6
[pinhole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_pinhole), addressing
issue #7406. This helps users who prefer to use IPv6 for hosting their
services or are forced to do so because of
[CGNAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT). Otherwise,
such users would have to configure their firewall manually to allow
syncthing traffic to pass through while IPv4 users can use UPnP to take
care of network configuration already.
### Testing
I have tested this in a virtual machine setup with miniupnpd running on
the virtualized router. It successfully added an IPv6 pinhole when used
with IPv6 only, an IPv4 port mapping when used with IPv4 only and both
when dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) is used.
Automated tests could be added for SOAP responses from the router but
automatically testing this with a real network is likely infeasible.
### Documentation
https://docs.syncthing.net/users/firewall.html could be updated to
mention the fact that UPnP now works with IPv6, although this change is
more "behind the scenes".

This adds the ability to have multiple concurrent connections to a single device. This is primarily useful when the network has multiple physical links for aggregated bandwidth. A single connection will never see a higher rate than a single link can give, but multiple connections are load-balanced over multiple links.
It is also incidentally useful for older multi-core CPUs, where bandwidth could be limited by the TLS performance of a single CPU core -- using multiple connections achieves concurrency in the required crypto calculations...

The allowed IPv4 ranges are the same as before. But we now also accept IPv6 addresses in the ULA range FC00::/7. These addresses don't require an interface identifier and are roughly equivalent to the IPv4 private ranges.
Typical usecases:
VPN interface IPs: Wireguard, OpenVPN, Tailscale, ...
fixed IPv6 LAN addressing while the provider assigns a dynamic prefix. e.g used by pihole

refactor: fix unused method receiver
Methods with unused receivers can be a symptom of unfinished refactoring or a bug. To keep
the same method signature, omit the receiver name or '_' as it is unused.

This makes the various protocol priorities configurable among the other
options. With this, it's possible to prefer QUIC over TCP for WAN
connections, for example. Both sides need to be similarly configured for
this to work properly.
The default priority order remains the same as previously (TCP, QUIC,
Relay, with LAN better than WAN).
To make this happen I made each dialer & listener more priority aware,
and moved the check for whether a connection is LAN or not into the
dialer / listener -- this is the new "lanChecker" type that's passed
around.
This adds a cache to the expensive key generation operations. It's fixes
size LRU/MRU stuff to keep memory usage bounded under absurd conditions.
Also closes#8600.
* lib/connections: Cache isLAN decision for later external access.
The check whether a remote device's address is on a local network
currently happens when handling the Hello message, to configure the
limiters. Save the result to the ConnectionInfo and pass it out as
part of the model's ConnectionInfo struct in ConnectionStats().
* gui: Use provided connection attribute to distinguish LAN / WAN.
Replace the dumb IP address check which didn't catch common cases and
actually could contradict what the backend decided. That could have
been confusing if the GUI says WAN, but the limiter is not actually
applied because the backend thinks it's a LAN.
Add strings for QUIC and relay connections to also differentiate
between LAN and WAN.
* gui: Redefine reception level icons for all connection types.
Move the mapping to the JS code, as it is much easier to handle
multiple switch cases by fall-through there.
QUIC is regarded no less than TCP anymore. LAN and WAN make the
difference between levels 4 / 3 and 2 / 1:
{TCP,QUIC} LAN --> {TCP,QUIC} WAN --> Relay LAN --> Relay WAN -->
Disconnected.
This replaces old style errors.Wrap with modern fmt.Errorf and removes
the (direct) dependency on github.com/pkg/errors. A couple of cases are
adjusted by hand as previously errors.Wrap(nil, ...) would return nil,
which is not what fmt.Errorf does.
Also adds idle time and keepalive parameters because how this is
configured has changed in the new package version. The values are those
that seems like might already be default, if keep-alives were enabled,
which is not obvious from the doc comments.
Also, Go 1.19 gofmt reformatting of comments.
The locking protocol in nat.Mapping was racy:
* Mapping.addressMap RLock'd, but then returned a map shared between
caller and Mapping, so the lock didn't do anything.
* Operations inside Service.{verifyExistingMappings,acquireNewMappings}
would lock the map for every update, but that means callers to
Mapping.ExternalAddresses can be looping over the map while the
Service methods are concurrently modifying it. When the Go runtime
detects that happening, it panics.
* Mapping.expires was read and updated without locking.
The Service methods now lock the map once and release the lock only when
done.
Also, subscribers no longer get the added and removed addresses, because
none of them were using the information. This was changed for a previous
attempt to retain the fine-grained locking and not reverted because it
simplifies the code.
LoadOrGenerateCertificate() takes two file path arguments, but then
uses the locations package to determine the actual path. Fix that
with a minimally invasive change, by using the arguments instead.
Factor out GenerateCertificate().
The only caller of this function is cmd/syncthing, which passes the
same values, so this is technically a no-op.
* lib/tlsutil: Make storing generated certificate optional. Avoid
temporary cert and key files in tests, keep cert in memory.
Registry.Get used a full sort to get the minimum of a list, and the sort
was broken because util.AddressUnspecifiedLess assumed it could find out
whether an address is IPv4 or IPv6 from its Network method. However,
net.(TCP|UDP)Addr.Network always returns "tcp"/"udp".
