After the config re-organisation, the setting of stringArray config
values (eg `--exclude` set with `RCLONE_EXCLUDE`) was broken and gave
a message like this for `RCLONE_EXCLUDE=*.jpg`:
Failed to load "filter" default values: failed to initialise "filter" options:
couldn't parse config item "exclude" = "*.jpg" as []string: parsing "*.jpg" as []string failed:
invalid character '/' looking for beginning of value
This was caused by the parser trying to parse the input string as a
JSON value.
When the config was re-organised it was thought that the internal
representation of stringArray values was not important as it was never
visible externally, however this turned out not to be true.
A defined representation was chosen - a comma separated string and
this was documented and tests were introduced in this patch.
This potentially introduces a very small backwards incompatibility. In
rclone v1.67.0
RCLONE_EXCLUDE=a,b
Would be interpreted as
--exclude "a,b"
Whereas this new code will interpret it as
--exclude "a" --exclude "b"
The benefit of being able to set multiple values with an environment
variable was deemed to outweigh the very small backwards compatibility
risk.
If a value with a `,` is needed, then use CSV escaping, eg
RCLONE_EXCLUDE="a,b"
(Note this needs to have the quotes in so at the unix shell that would be
RCLONE_EXCLUDE='"a,b"'
Fixes #8063
