This adds a cleanup stage to remove database files for folders that no
longer exist on startup. Folder database files were already removed when
dropping a folder, assuming that the folder database had been opened at
that point. This won't be the case though when a folder is removed from
the config when Syncthing isn't running, or when a folder is dropped and
re-migrated in a restarted migration.
This adds a temporary GUI/API server during the database migration. It
responds with 200 OK and some log output for every request. This serves
two purposes:
- Primarily, for deployments that use the API as a health check, it
gives them something positive to accept during the migration, reducing
the risk of the migration getting killed halfway through and restarted,
thus never completing.
- Secondarily, it gives humans who happen to try to load the GUI some
sort of indication of what's going on.
Obviously, anything that expects a well-formed API response at this
stage is still going to fail. They were already failing though, as we
didn't even listen at this point before.
Two things:
- We could run into a write error, which would block the progress
forever without an error. This because the writer routine exited, while
the reader was just blocked on sending to it.
- After a failed migration, inserts could fail with unique index
constraint errors because we are reusing the sequence numbers from the
original database. Add a drop folder to the start of migration to handle
this.
Additionally, the drop folder will clear out broken database files due
to killed migrations.

I added these tags as part of the big database PR, but I forget why. I
think it came from an attempt at a static binary using the Go-based
SQLite packages, but that's not the primary build anymore anyway. We can
remove this and go back to the standard resolvers, which gives better
support for primarily Windows and macOS special resolution methods...
This removes the `debugging` bool under GUI configuration, and two no
longer relevant development endpoints: `httpmetrics` (which I can't
imagine anyone using for anything -- if we need such metrics today, the
right place is the Prometheus exported metrics) and the `peerCompletion`
endpoint (previously used by integration tests).
The debugging bool initially enabled just those two endpoints, which are
not for end users. Then we added profiling and support bundles, which
are very useful indeed for end users to access, and they were hidden
behind the same debug flag. I don't see any reason for keeping that flag
now that these methods are more generally useful.

This updates our logging framework from legacy freetext strings using
the `log` package to structured log entries using `log/slog`. I have
updated all INFO or higher level entries, but not yet DEBUG (😓)... So,
at a high level:
There is a slight change in log levels, effectively adding a new warning
level:
- DEBUG is still debug (ideally not for users but developers, though
this is something we need to work on)
- INFO is still info, though I've added more data here, effectively
making Syncthing more verbose by default (more on this below)
- WARNING is a new log level that is different from the _old_ WARNING
(more below)
- ERROR is what was WARNING before -- problems that must be dealt with,
and also bubbled as a popup in the GUI.
A new feature is that the logging level can be set per package to
something other than just debug or info, and hence I feel that we can
add a bit more things into INFO while moving some (in fact, most)
current INFO level warnings into WARNING. For example, I think it's
justified to get a log of synced files in INFO and sync failures in
WARNING. These are things that have historically been tricky to debug
properly, and having more information by default will be useful to many,
while still making it possible get close to told level of inscrutability
by setting the log level to WARNING. I'd like to get to a stage where
DEBUG is never necessary to just figure out what's going on, as opposed
to trying to narrow down a likely bug.
Code wise:
- Our logging object, generally known as `l` in each package, is now a
new adapter object that provides the old API on top of the newer one.
(This should go away once all old log entries are migrated.) This is
only for `l.Debugln` and `l.Debugf`.
- There is a new level tracker that keeps the log level for each
package.
- There is a nested setup of handlers, since the structure mandated by
`log/slog` is slightly convoluted (imho). We do this because we need to
do formatting at a "medium" level internally so we can buffer log lines
in text format but with separate timestamp and log level for the API/GUI
to consume.
- The `debug` API call becomes a `loglevels` API call, which can set the
log level to `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING` or `ERROR` per package. The GUI
is updated to handle this.
- Our custom `sync` package provided some debugging of mutexes quite
strongly integrated into the old logging framework, only turned on when
`STTRACE` was set to certain values at startup, etc. It's been a long
time since this has been useful; I removed it.
- The `STTRACE` env var remains and can be used the same way as before,
while additionally permitting specific log levels to be specified,
`STTRACE=model:WARN,scanner:DEBUG`.
- There is a new command line option `--log-level=INFO` to set the
default log level.
- The command line options `--log-flags` and `--verbose` go away, but
are currently retained as hidden & ignored options since we set them by
default in some of our startup examples and Syncthing would otherwise
fail to start.

Prior to this fix, the folder would only get marked as "syncing" once we
started downloading data from the network. However in some cases there
will be a lot of data that can be reused locally and we spend
significant time copying blocks before downloading anything; in that
case, the folder would appear as "preparing to sync" while it was in
fact moving lots of data.
This fixes that, making it "syncing" as soon as it begins either copying
or downloading data.
We've always, since the introduction of conflicts, had the policy that
deletes lose against any other change, for safety's sake. This is a
problem, however, because it means the sort order of versions is not a
total order.
That is, given two versions `A` and `B` that are currently in conflict,
we will sort them in a given order (let's say `A, B`, so `A < B` for
ordering purposes: we say "A wins over B" or "A is newer than B") and
consider the first in the list the winner. The loser (who has `B` on
disk) will process the conflict at some point and move the file to a
conflict copy and announce `A'` as the resolved conflict. The winner
(with `A` on disk) doesn't do anything.
However, if `A` is deleted the ordering changes. We still have `A < B`
and, of course, `Adel < A` (this is not even a conflict, just linear
order). In most sane systems this would imply the ordering `Adel < A <
B`, however in our case we in fact have `B < Adel` because any version
wins over a deleted one, so there is no logical ordering at all of the
files at this point. `Adel < A < B < Adel ???` In practice the deleted
version may end up at the head or the tail of the list, depending on the
order we do the compares.
Hence, at this point, "whatever" happens and it's not guaranteed to make
any sense. 😬
I propose that we resolve this my simply letting deletes be versions
like anything else and maintain a total ordering based on just version
vectors with the existing tie breakers like always. That means a delete
can win in a conflict situation, and the result should be that the file
is moved to a conflict copy on the losing device. I think this retains
the data safety to almost the same degree as previously, while removing
probably an entire class of strange out of sync bugs...
---
(A potential wrinkle here is that, ideally, we wouldn't even create the
conflict copy when the delete and the losing version represent the same
data -- same as when we handle normal modification conflicts. However,
the deleted FileInfo doesn't carry any information on what the contents
were, so we can't do that right now. A possible future extension would
be to carry the block list hash of the deleted data in the deleted
FileInfo and use that for this purpose, but I don't want to complicate
this PR with that. The block list hash itself also isn't a
protocol-defined thing at the moment, it's something implementation
dependent that we just use locally.)
This makes a couple of backwards compatible changes to the
ClusterConfig:
- Remove the `ignore_permissions` and `ignore_delete` booleans which
we've never read or used for anything
- Remove the `disable_temp_indexes` boolean and option entirely. We did
use this one, and about 1% of users have set the option. The only thing
it does is inhibits sending of periodical DownloadProgress messages
while downloading data, which is a minuscule bandwidth optimisation
given that we're already sending data at the time.
- Change the `read_only` boolean (which indicated send-only folders) to
an enum `FolderType`, where the values zero and one match the existing
usage. Again, we don't actually use this value, but I can see that we
might want to and then it makes more sense for it to be more
comprehensive.
- Change the `paused` boolean to an enum `StopReason`, where zero
indicates not stopped and one indicates paused, exactly the same wire
representation as previously but leaves space for additional stop
reasons (errors etc).
This updates our key generation to use Ed25519 keys/certificates for
sync connections. Certificates for browser use remain ECDSA for wider
compatibility.
Ed25519 is more modern and has fewer concerns for the future than the
ECDSA curves we used previously. It is supported from Go 1.13 and
forwards, which is Syncthing 1.3.0 (October 2019).

Tihs makes it easier to use metrics based on device and folder labels,
names, and other attributes. Other metrics which are based on folder or
device ID can be joined with these info metrics to enrich their label
sets.
```
# HELP syncthing_config_device_info Provides additional information labels on devices
# TYPE syncthing_config_device_info gauge
syncthing_config_device_info{device="I6KAH76-66SLLLB-5PFXSOA-UFJCDZC-YAOMLEK-CP2GB32-BV5RQST-3PSROAU",introducer="false",name="s1",paused="false",untrusted="false"} 1
# HELP syncthing_config_folder_info Provides additional information labels on folders
# TYPE syncthing_config_folder_info gauge
syncthing_config_folder_info{folder="default",label="The default folder",path="s2",paused="false",type="sendreceive"} 1
```

```
syncthing_connections_active * on(device) group_left syncthing_config_device_info
```
Fixes#9519Closes#10074Closes#10147
This changes the default number of connections from one to three (one
metadata + two data connections). This should give some advantages of
multiple connections, while also not being an overwhelming change for
larger installations. (Though those may need to tweak their settings
anyway, as always.)
This adds a file that will be prepended to release notes (tag messages,
GitHub releases, forum posts) for v1 releases. I'd like there to be
something there to flag that things are going to change.
