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.
Updates the package and fixes a test that depended on the old behavior
of Write() being equivalent to Reset()+Write() which is no longer the
case. The scanner already did resets after each block write, so this is
fine.
Adds a receive only folder type that does not send changes, and where the user can optionally revert local changes. Also changes some of the icons to make the three folder types distinguishable.
We have the invalid bit to indicate that a file isn't good. That's enough for remote devices. For ourselves, it would be good to know sometimes why the file isn't good - because it's an unsupported type, because it matches an ignore pattern, or because we detected the data is bad and we need to rescan it.
Or, and this is the main future reason for the PR, because it's a change detected on a receive only device. We will want something like the invalid flag for those changes, but marking them as invalid today means the scanner will rehash them. Hence something more fine grained is required.
This introduces a LocalFlags fields to the FileInfo where we can stash things that we care about locally. For example,
FlagLocalUnsupported = 1 << 0 // The kind is unsupported, e.g. symlinks on Windows
FlagLocalIgnored = 1 << 1 // Matches local ignore patterns
FlagLocalMustRescan = 1 << 2 // Doesn't match content on disk, must be rechecked fully
The LocalFlags fields isn't sent over the wire; instead the Invalid attribute is calculated based on the flags at index sending time. It's on the FileInfo anyway because that's what we serialize to database etc.
The actual Invalid flag should after this just be considered when building the global state and figuring out availability for remote devices. It is not used for local file index entries.
Unignored files are marked as conflicting while scanning, which is then resolved
in the subsequent pull. Automatically reconciles needed items on send-only
folders, if they do not actually differ except for internal metadata.
When scanner.Walk detects a change, it now returns the new file info as well as the old file info. It also finds deleted and ignored files while scanning.
Also directory deletions are now always committed to db after their children to prevent temporary failure on remote due to non-empty directory.
It turns out that ZFS doesn't do any normalization when storing files,
but does do normalization "as part of any comparison process".
In practice, this seems to mean that if you LStat a normalized filename,
ZFS will return the FileInfo for the un-normalized version of that
filename.
This meant that our test to see whether a separate file with a
normalized version of the filename already exists was failing, as we
were detecting the same file.
The fix is to use os.SameFile, to see whether we're getting the same
FileInfo from the normalized and un-normalized versions of the same
filename.
One complication is that ZFS also seems to apply its magic to os.Rename,
meaning that we can't use it to rename an un-normalized file to its
normalized filename. Instead we have to move via a temporary object. If
the move to the temporary object fails, that's OK, we can skip it and
move on. If the move from the temporary object fails however, I'm not
sure of the best approach: the current one is to leave the temporary
file name as-is, and get Syncthing to syncronize it, so at least we
don't lose the file. I'm not sure if there are any implications of this
however.
As part of reworking normalizePath, I spotted that it appeared to be
returning the wrong thing: the doc and the surrounding code expecting it
to return the normalized filename, but it was returning the
un-normalized one. I fixed this, but it seems suspicious that, if the
previous behaviour was incorrect, noone ever ran afoul of it. Maybe all
filesystems will do some searching and give you a normalized filename if
you request an unnormalized one.
As part of this, I found that TestNormalization was broken: it was
passing, when in fact one of the files it should have verified was
present was missing. Maybe this was related to the above issue with
normalizePath's return value, I'm not sure. Fixed en route.
Kindly tested by @khinsen on the forum, and it appears to work.

This solves the erratic test failures on model.TestIgnores by ensuring
that the ignore patterns are reloaded even in the face of unchanged
timestamps.

The folder already knew how to stop properly, but the fs.Walk() didn't
and can potentially take a very long time. This adds context support to
Walk and the underlying scanning stuff, and passes in an appropriate
context from above. The stop channel in model.folder is replaced with a
context for this purpose.
To test I added an infiniteFS that represents a large amount of data
(not actually infinite, but close) and verify that walking it is
properly stopped. For that to be implemented smoothly I moved out the
Walk function to it's own type, as typically the implementer of a new
filesystem type might not need or want to reimplement Walk.
It's somewhat tricky to test that this actually works properly on the
actual sendReceiveFolder and so on, as those are started from inside the
model and the filesystem isn't easily pluggable etc. Instead I've tested
that part manually by adding a huge folder and verifying that pause,
resume and reconfig do the right things by looking at debug output.

One more step on the path of the great refactoring. Touches rwfolder a
little bit since it uses the Lstat from fs as well, but mostly this is
just on the scanner as rwfolder is scheduled for a later refactor.
There are a couple of usages of fs.DefaultFilesystem that will in the
end become a filesystem injected from the top, but that comes later.

Adds a unit test to ensure we don't scan symlinks on Windows. For the
rwfolder, trusts that the logic in the invalid check is correct and that
the check is actually called from the need loop.

After this change,
- Symlinks on Windows are always unsupported. Sorry.
- Symlinks are always enabled on other platforms. They are just a small
file like anything else. There is no need to special case them. If you
don't want to sync some symlinks, ignore them.
- The protocol doesn't differentiate between different "types" of
symlinks. If that distinction ever does become relevant the individual
devices can figure it out by looking at the destination when they
create the link.
It's backwards compatible in that all the old symlink types are still
understood to be symlinks, and the new SYMLINK type is equivalent to the
old SYMLINK_UNKNOWN which was always a valid way to do it.

Can't do what I did, as the rolling function is not the same as the
non-rolling one. Instead this uses an improved version of the rolling
adler32 to accomplish the same thing. (PR filed on upstream, so should
be able to use that directly in the future.)
