Betweeen rclone v1.54 and v1.55 there was an approx 3x performance
regression when transferring to distant SFTP servers (in particular
rsync.net).
This turned out to be due to the library github.com/pkg/sftp rclone
uses. Concurrent writes used to be enabled in this library by default
(for v1.12.0 as used in rclone v1.54) but they are no longer enabled
(for v1.13.0 as used in rclone v1.55) for safety reasons and it is
necessary to enable them specifically.
The safety concerns are due to the uncertainty as to whether writes
come in order and whether a half completed file might have holes in
it. This isn't a problem for rclone since a) it doesn't restart
uploads and b) it has a post-transfer checksum test.
This change introduces a new flag `--sftp-disable-concurrent-writes`
to control the feature which defaults to false, meaning that
concurrent writes are enabled as in v1.54.
However this isn't quite enough to fix the problem as the sftp library
needs to be able to sniff the size of the stream from the reader
passed in, so this also adds a `Size` interface to the reader to
enable this. This involved a patch to the library.
The library was reverted to v1.12.0 for v1.55.1 - this patch installs
v1.13.0+master to fix the Size interface problem.

Before this change, rclone checked to see if an object existed before
doing an upload by listing the destination directory. This was very
inefficient, especially with large directories.
After this change rclone uses the pre upload check API call which
checks to see if it is OK to upload an object, and also returns the ID
of an existing object which saves rclone having to do a directory
listing.
OneDrive randomly returns the error message: "InvalidAuthenticationToken: Unable to initialize RPS". These unexpected errors typically caused the entire rclone command to fail.
This work around recognizes these errors and marks them for a low level retry, that mostly succeeds. This will make rclone commands complete without being noticeable affected.
Fixes: #5270
A new command `rclone config touch` which calls config.SaveConfig().
Useful during testing of configuration location things.
It will ensure the config file exists and test that it is writable.
Use %AppData% as primary default for configuration file on Windows,
which is more in line with Windows standards, while existing default
of using home directory is more Unix standards - though that made rclone
more consistent accross different OS.
Fixes#4667
With the file version format standardized in lib/version, `crypt` can
now treat the version strings separately from the encrypted/decrypted
file names. This allows --b2-versions to work with `crypt`.

This commit silences the progress output from the curl requests made by the install.sh script.
Having a progress seems to break some automated scripts and there isn't a way to pass some
flags to these curl requests to disable them.
Before this change rclone would auth over https even when the server
was configured with http.
Authing over http obviously isn't ideal, however this type of server
is on-premise and doesn't work over https.
PR #4266 modified ftpConnection to make ftp library into using
a custom dial function which is QoS aware and takes care of TLS.
However the ServerConn.Login function from the ftp library also needs
TLS config passed explicitly as a trigger for sending PSBZ and PROT
options to FTP server. This was not taken care of resulting in
failure to connect via FTP with implicit TLS.
This PR fixes that.
Fixes#5210
Before this change any backends which required extra config in the
oauth phase (like the `region` for zoho) didn't work with `rclone
authorize`.
This change serializes the extra config and passes it to `rclone
authorize` and returns new config items to be set from rclone
authorize.
`rclone authorize` will still accept its previous configuration
parameters for use with old rclones.
Fixes#5178
