This makes the new default $XDG_STATE_HOME/syncthing or
~/.local/state/syncthing, while still looking in legacy locations first
for existing installs.
Note that this does not *move* existing installs, and nor should we.
Existing paths will continue to be used as-is, but the user can move the
dir into the new place if they want to use it (as they could prior to
this change as well, for that matter).
### Documentation
Needs update to the config docs about our default locations.
* lib/locations: Fix enum values camelCase.
* lib/locations: Remove unused FailuresFile.
* cmd/syncthing: Turn around role of locations storage.
Previously the locations package was used to provide default paths,
possibly with an overridden home directory. Extra paths supplied on
the command line were handled and passed around in the options object.
To make the changed paths available to any other interested package,
override the location setting from the option if supplied, instead of
vice versa when not supplied. Adapt code using this to read from the
locations package instead of passing through the options object.
* lib/locations: Refactor showPaths to locations package.
Generate a reusable string in locations.PrettyPrintPaths().
Enumerating all possible locations in different packages is error
prone, so add a new public function to generate the listing as a
string in the locations package. Adapt cmd/syncthing --paths to use
that instead of its own console output.
* lib/locations: Include CSRF token in pretty printed paths.
* lib/api: New endpoint /rest/system/paths.
The paths should be available for troubleshooting from a running
instance. Using the --paths CLI option is not easy in some
environments, so expose the locations mapping to a JSON endpoint.
Add utility function ListExpandedPaths() that also filters out any
entries which still contain variable placeholders.
* gui: List runtime paths in separate log viewer tab.
* Wrap paths.
* lib/syncthing: Utilize locations.Get() instead of passing an arg.
* Include base directories, move label to table caption.
* gui: Switch to hard-coded paths instead of iterating over all.
* gui: Break aboutModalView into tabs.
Use tabs to separate authors from included third-party software.
* gui: Move paths from log viewer to about modal.
* lib/locations: Adjust pretty print output order to match GUI.
* gui, authors: Remove additional bot names and fix indent.
The indentation changed because of the tabbed about dialog, fix the
authors script to respect that.
Skip Syncthing*Automation in authors list as well.
* Update AUTHORS list to remove bot names.
* Revert AUTHORS email order change.
* Do not emphasize DB and log file locations.
* Review line wrapping.
* review part 1: strings.Builder, naming
* Rename and extend locations.Set() with error handling.
Remodel the Override() function along the existing SetBaseDir() and
rename it to simply Set(). Make sure to use absolute paths when given
log file or GUI assets override options. Add proper error reporting
if that goes wrong.
* Remove obsolete comment about empty logfile option.
* Don't filter out unexpanded baseDir placeholders, only ${timestamp}.
* Restore behavior regarding special "-" logfile argument.
If the option is given, but with empty value, assume the no log
file (same as "-"). Don't try to convert the special value to an
absolute path though and document this fact in a comment for the Set()
function.
* Use template to check for location key validity.
* Don't filter out timestamp placeholders.
* lib/api: Remove paths from /rest/system/status.
* lib/ur: Properly initialize map in failure data (fixes#8479)

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...).
Consistently use double dashes and fix typos -conf, -data-dir and
-verify.
Applies also to tests running the syncthing binary for consistency.
* Fix mismatched option name --conf in cli subcommand.
According to the source code comments, the cli option flags should
mirror those from the serve subcommand where applicable. That one is
actually called --config though.
* cli: Fix help text option placeholders.
The urfave/cli package uses the Value field of StringFlag to provide a
default value, not to name the placeholder. That is instead done with
backticks around some part of the Usage field.
* cli: Add missing --data flag in subcommand help text.
The urfave/cli based option parsing uses a fake flags collection to
generate help texts matching the used global options. But the --data
option was omitted from it, although it is definitely required when
using --config as well. Note that it cannot just be ignored, as some
debug stuff actually uses the DB:
syncthing cli --data=/bar --config=/foo debug index dump
This removes the switch for using a Badger database, because it has bugs
that it seems there is no interest in fixing, and no actual bug tracker
to track them in.
It retains the actual implementation for the sole purpose of being able
to do the conversion back to LevelDB if anyone is actually running with
USE_BADGER. At some point in a couple of versions we can remove the
implementation as well.
