This almost 100% backwards compatible. The only difference being that
in the rc options/get output DumpMode will be output as strings
instead of integers. This is a lot more convenient for the user. They
still accept integer inputs though so the fallout from this should be
minimal.
Before this change backend types were printing incorrectly as the name
of the type, not what was defined by the Type() method.
This was not working due to not calling the Type() method. However
this needed to be defined on a non-pointer type due to the way the
options are handled.
Before this change options were read and set in native format. This
means for example nanoseconds for durations or an integer for
enumerated types, which isn't very convenient for humans.
This change enables these types to be set with a string with the
syntax as used in the command line instead, so `"10s"` rather than
`10000000000` or `"DEBUG"` rather than `8` for log level.
The purpose of this is to make it easier to maintain and eventually to
allow the rclone backends to be re-used in other projects without
having to use the rclone configuration system.
The new code layout is documented in CONTRIBUTING.
