The problem here is that we would update the sequence index before
updating the FileInfos, which would result in a high sequence number
pointing to a low-sequence FileInfo. The index sender would pick up the
high sequence number, send the old file, and think everything was good.
On the receiving side the old file is a no-op and ignored. The file
remains out of sync until another update for it happens.
This fixes that by correcting the order of operations in the database
update: first we remove old sequence index entries, then we update the
FileInfos (which now don't have anything pointing to them) and then we
add the sequence indexes (which the index sender can see).
The other option is to add "proper" transactions where required at the
database layer. I actually have a branch for that, but it's literally
thousands of lines of diff and I'm putting that off for another day as
this solves the problem...

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.
Removes the manual handling of the AUTHORS file, giving every committer automatic credit for their contribution.
Manual tweaks to the file are still accepted and retained by the scripts.
A dedicated user is necessary to create relative references via
~/<folder> or $HOME/<folder>. Having the syncthing process just running
under a unprivileged UID/GID, will remove the home folder relation and
therefore will result in nonexistent shares after update.
