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.
This replaces built-in os.MkdirAll with a patched version that stops the recursion
when reaching the volume part of the path. The original version would continue recursion,
and for extended length paths end up with \\? as the top-level directory, and the error
message would then be something like:
mkdir \\?: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Before this change, sometimes preallocate failed with EINTR which
rclone ignored.
Retrying the syscall is the correct thing to do and seems to make
preallocate 100% reliable.
Add --network-mode option to activate mounting as network drive without having to set volume prefix.
Add support for automatic drive letter assignment (not specific to network drive mounting).
Allow full network share unc path in --volname, which will also implicitely activate network drive mounting.
Allow full network share unc path as mountpoint, which will also implicitely activate network drive mounting, and the specified path will be used as volume prefix and the remote will be mounted on an automatically assigned drive letter instead.
Before this change we passed both lpOverlapped and lpBytesReturned as NULL.

After this change we set lpBytesReturned to a valid pointer.

Normally os.OpenFile under Windows does not allow renaming or deleting
open file handles. This package provides equivelents for os.OpenFile,
os.Open and os.Create which do allow that.
