The config question "Use auto config?" confused many users and lead to
recurring forum posts from users that were unaware that they were using
a remote or headless machine.
This commit makes the question and possible options more descriptive
and precise.
This commit also adds references to the guide on remote setup in the
documentation of backends using oauth as primary authentication.
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.
Create a full loop of documentation for rclone about, backends overview
and individual backend pages.

Previously pull was requested, in part, under ref
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4801
Notes:
Introduce a tentative draft see-link format the end of sections to try
rather than lots of in-para links.
Update about.go incl link to list of backends not supporting about.
In list of backends not supporting about, include link to about command
reference.
I appreciate there may be decisions to make going forward about whether
command links should be code formatted, and using proper pretty url
links, but I have fudged that for now.
Update backend pages that do not support about with wording used
previously for ftp - it is in passive voice but I can live with it. (my
own wording and fault). The note is applied to a limitations section. If
one does not already exist it is created (even if there are other
limitations with their own sections)
This means the feature can be disabled by setting the time to 0.
This also logs the HTTP status for analysis purposes.
Thanks Felix Bünemann for extensive testing and data collection.
Shorten the URL to be used by the user and automatically use the
returned code by the server. The browser is opened on
`http://(bindaddress)/auth`, and redirected to the actual URL. When
the code is returned it is automatically inserted, instead of
requiring a copy+paste.
This is also a workaround for the "open" package, which escapes "&"
wrongly on Windows, so the opened URL's are invalid.
