This change adds the --direct-io flag to the mount. This means the
page cache is completely bypassed for reads and writes. No read-ahead
takes place. Shared mmap is disabled.
This is useful to accurately read files which may change length
frequently on the source.
This adds an additional parameter to the creation of each flag. This
specifies one or more flag groups. This **must** be set for global
flags and **must not** be set for local flags.
This causes flags.md to be built with sections to aid comprehension
and it causes the documentation pages for each command (and the
`--help`) to be built showing the flags groups as specified in the
`groups` annotation on the command.

f4c40bf79d mount: add --devname to set the device name sent to FUSE for mount display
The --devname parameter was added. However it was soon noticed that
attempting to mount via the rc gave this error:
mount helper error: fusermount: unknown option 'fsname'
mount FAILED: fusermount: exit status 1
This was because the DeviceName (and VolumeName) parameter was never
being initialised when the mount was called via the rc.
The fix for this was to refactor the rc interface so it called the
same Mount method as the command line mount which initialised the
DeviceName and VolumeName parameters properly.
This also fixes the cmd/mount tests which were breaking in the same
way but since they aren't normally run on the CI we didn't notice.
Fixes#6044
Before this change, the device name was always the remote:path rclone
was configured with. However this can contain sensitive information
and it appears in the `mount` output, so `--devname` allows the user
to configure it.

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 patch will:
- add --daemon-wait flag to control the time to wait for background mount
- remove dependency on sevlyar/go-daemon and implement backgrounding directly
- avoid setsid during backgrounding as it can result in race under Automount
- provide a fallback PATH to correctly run `fusermount` under systemd as it
runs mount units without standard environment variables
- correctly handle ^C pressed while background process is being setting up
Current way of checking whether mountpoint has been already mounted (directory
list) can result in race if rclone runs under Automount (classic or systemd).
This patch adopts Linux ProcFS for the check. Note that mountpoint is considered
empty if it's tagged as "mounted" by autofs. Also ProcFS is used to check whether
rclone mount was successful (ie. tagged by a string containing "rclone").
On macOS/BSD where ProcFS is unavailable the old method is still used.
This patch also moves a few utility functions unchanged to utils.go:
CheckOverlap, CheckAllowings, SetVolumeName.
Includes adding support for additional size input suffix Mi and MiB, treated equivalent to M.
Extends binary suffix output with letter i, e.g. Ki and Mi.
Centralizes creation of bit/byte unit strings.
Previously rclone set --daemon-timeout to 15m by default. However
osxfuse seems to be ignoring that value since it is above the maximum
value of 10m. This is conjecture since the source of osxfuse is no
longer available.
Setting the value to 10m seems to resolve the problem.

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.
