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 is done by making fs.Config private and attaching it to the
context instead.
The Config should be obtained with fs.GetConfig and fs.AddConfig
should be used to get a new mutable config that can be changed.
go1.15 introduced a stricter policy for what you can convert with
`string()` and now `go vet` warns if you try to do `string(int)`.

This replaces the `sync.Pool` allocator with lib/pool. This
implements a pool of buffers of up to 64MB which can be re-used but is
flushed every 5 seconds.
If `--use-mmap` is set then rclone will use mmap for memory
allocations which is much better at returning memory to the OS.
The race detector currently detects a race with len(chan) against
close(chan).
See: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27070
Skip the tests which trip this bug under the race detector.
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.
