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.
Before this change if you specified --hash MD5 in rclone lsf it would
calculate all the hashes and just return the MD5 hash which was very
slow on the local backend.
Likewise specifying --hash on rclone lsjson was equally slow.
This change introduces the --hash-type flag (and corresponding
internal parameter) so that the hashes required can be selected in
lsjson.
This is used internally in lsf when the --hash parameter is selected
to speed up the hashing by only hashing with the one hash specified.
Fixes#4181
--files-from parses input files by ignoring comments starting with # and ;
and stripping whitespace from start and end of strings.
The --files-from-raw flag was added that reads every line from the file ignoring
comment characters and not stripping whitespace while maintaining
backwards compatibility.
Fixes#3762
Before this changed we unconditionally fetched the MimeType. On Some
backends like s3 and swift this takes an extra transaction which meant
that `lsf` on those backends was needlessly slow.
This adds an internal option so `lsf` can declare whether it wants
MimeTypes or not depending on whether the user asked for them and an
external flag `--no-mimetype` for `lsjson`.

- Change rclone/fs interfaces to accept context.Context
- Update interface implementations to use context.Context
- Change top level usage to propagate context to lover level functions
Context propagation is needed for stopping transfers and passing other
request-scoped values.
This brings it up to par with lsjson.
This commit also reworks the framework to use ListJSON internally
which removes duplicated code and makes testing easier.
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.
