crypto/rand output is cryptographically secure by the Go library
documentation's promise. That, rather than strength (= passes randomness
tests) is the property that Syncthing needs).
This makes Go 1.15 test/vet happy, avoiding "conversion from untyped int
to string yields a string of one rune" warning where we do
string(KeyTypeWhatever) in namespaced.go.
It also clarifies and enforces the currently allowed range of these
numbers so I think it's fine.
This matches the convention of the stdlib and avoids ambiguity: when
customErr{} and &customErr{} both implement error, client code needs to
check for both.
Memory use should remain the same, since storing a non-pointer type in
an interface value still copies the value to the heap.
This adds some env vars to the long version string as if they were build
tags. The purpose is to better understand what code was running or not
in the version output, usage reporting and crash reports. In order to
prevent possible privacy issues the actual value of the variable is not
reported, just the fact that it was set to something non-empty.
Example:
% ./bin/syncthing --version
syncthing v1.6.1+47-g1eb104f3-buildtags "Fermium Flea" (go1.14.3 darwin-amd64) jb@kvin.kastelo.net 2020-06-03 07:25:46 UTC [stnoupgrade, use_badger]
Group the global list of files by version, instead of having one flat list for all devices. This removes lots of duplicate protocol.Vectors.

This reduces the size of our write batches before we flush them. This
has two effects: reducing the amount of data lost if we crash when
updating the database, and reducing the amount of memory used when we do
large updates without checkpoint (e.g., deleting a folder).
I ran our SyncManyFiles benchmark as it is the one doing most
transactions, however there was no relevant change in any metric (it's
limited by our fsync I expect). This is good as any visible change would
just be a decrease in performance.
I don't have a benchmark on deleting a large folder, taking that part on
trust for now...
If we fail to take the rename shortcut we may crash on a later loop,
because we do trickiness with the indexes but the original buckets[key]
in "range buckets[key]" isn't re-evaluated so i exceeds the max index.
This adds indirection of large version vectors in the same manner as we
already to block lists. The effect is the same: less duplicated data in
some situations.
To mitigate the impact for when this indirection
wouldn't be needed I've added an indirection cutoff for both blocks and
the new version vector stuff: we don't do the indirection at all for
small block lists or small version vectors, instead storing it directly
like we used to do. This is faster for small files and small setups.
