all: Support syncing extended attributes (fixes #2698) (#8513)
This adds support for syncing extended attributes on supported
filesystem on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD and NetBSD. Windows is currently
excluded because the APIs seem onerous and annoying and frankly the uses
cases seem few and far between. On Unixes this also covers ACLs as those
are stored as extended attributes.

Similar to ownership syncing this will optional & opt-in, which two
settings controlling the main behavior: one to "sync" xattrs (read &
write) and another one to "scan" xattrs (only read them so other devices
can "sync" them, but not apply any locally).

all: Support syncing ownership (fixes #1329) (#8434)
This adds support for syncing ownership on Unixes and on Windows. The
scanner always picks up ownership information, but it is not applied
unless the new folder option "Sync Ownership" is set.

Ownership data is stored in a new FileInfo field called "platform data". This
is intended to hold further platform-specific data in the future
(specifically, extended attributes), which is why the whole design is a
bit overkill for just ownership.

all: Copy owner/group from parent (fixes #5445) (#5479)
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.
