This is possible now that we no longer support go1.12 and brings
rclone into line with standard practices in the Go world.
This also removes errors.New and errors.Errorf from lib/errors and
prefers the stdlib errors package over lib/errors.
Includes adding support for additional size input suffix Mi and MiB, treated equivalent to M.
Extends binary suffix output with letter i, e.g. Ki and Mi.
Centralizes creation of bit/byte unit strings.
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.
