This commit modernizes Go usage. This was done with:
go run golang.org/x/tools/gopls/internal/analysis/modernize/cmd/modernize@latest -fix -test ./...
Then files needed to be `go fmt`ed and a few comments needed to be
restored.
The modernizations include replacing
- if/else conditional assignment by a call to the built-in min or max functions added in go1.21
- sort.Slice(x, func(i, j int) bool) { return s[i] < s[j] } by a call to slices.Sort(s), added in go1.21
- interface{} by the 'any' type added in go1.18
- append([]T(nil), s...) by slices.Clone(s) or slices.Concat(s), added in go1.21
- loop around an m[k]=v map update by a call to one of the Collect, Copy, Clone, or Insert functions from the maps package, added in go1.21
- []byte(fmt.Sprintf...) by fmt.Appendf(nil, ...), added in go1.19
- append(s[:i], s[i+1]...) by slices.Delete(s, i, i+1), added in go1.21
- a 3-clause for i := 0; i < n; i++ {} loop by for i := range n {}, added in go1.22
strings.ReplaceAll(s, old, new) is a wrapper function for
strings.Replace(s, old, new, -1). But strings.ReplaceAll is more
readable and removes the hardcoded -1.

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 also factors the config questions into a state based mechanism so
a backend can be configured using the same dialog as rclone config but
remotely.
This is a very large change which turns the post Config function in
backends into a state based call and response system so that
alternative user interfaces can be added.
The existing config logic has been converted, but it is quite
complicated and folloup commits will likely be needed to fix it!
Follow up commits will add a command line and API based way of using
this configuration system.
