core/stats can return two different schemas in 'transferring' field.
One is object with fields the other is just plain string.
This is confusing, unnecessary and makes defining response schema
more difficult. It also returns `lastError` as value which can be
rendered differently depending on source of error.
This change standardizes 'transferring' filed to always return
object but with reduced fields if they are not available.
Former string item is converted to {name:remote_name} object.
'lastError' is forced to be a string as in some cases it can be encoded
as an object.
Introduce stats groups that will isolate accounting for logically
different transferring operations. That way multiple accounting
operations can be done in parallel without interfering with each other
stats.
Using groups is optional. There is dedicated global stats that will be
used by default if no group is specified. This is operating mode for CLI
usage which is just fire and forget operation.
For running rclone as rc http server each request will create it's own
group. Also there is an option to specify your own group.
This is done to make clear ownership over accounting object and prepare
for removing global stats object.
Stats elapsed time calculation has been altered to account for actual
transfer time instead of stats creation time.
Configuration time option to disable the above for if using Dropbox (does not
allow setting mtime on copy) or Amazon Drive (neither on upload nor on copy).
Before this change rclone was sending a MimeType in the requests for
server side Move and Copy.
The conjecture is that if you attempt to set the MimeType to something
different in a Copy then Google Drive has to do an actual copy of the
file data. This takes a very long time (since it is large) and fails
after a 90s timeout.
After the change we no longer set the MimeType in Move or Copy and the
copies happen instantly and correctly.
Many thanks to @darthShadow for discovering that this was causing the
problem.

It's likely a mistake to use `--use-server-modtime` if you're not also using `--update`. It might even make sense to emit a warning in the code when doing this, but for now, I made it more clear in the docs.
I also clarified how `--use-server-modtime` can be useful in the `--update` section.
