This PR does two things, because one lead to the other:
- Move the leveldb specific stuff into a small "backend" package that
defines a backend interface and the leveldb implementation. This allows,
potentially, in the future, switching the db implementation so another
KV store should we wish to do so.
- Add proper error handling all along the way. The db and backend
packages are now errcheck clean. However, I drew the line at modifying
the FileSet API in order to keep this manageable and not continue
refactoring all of the rest of Syncthing. As such, the FileSet methods
still panic on database errors, except for the "database is closed"
error which is instead handled by silently returning as quickly as
possible, with the assumption that we're anyway "on the way out".
To optimize WithNeed, which is called for the local device whenever an index
update is received. No tracking for remote devices to conserve db space, as
WithNeed is only queried for completion.
This adds a couple of utilities for transporting databases in JSON and a
test to load a database and verify a couple of invalid bits. The test
itself is quite pointless at the moment, but it lays the groundwork for
testing the migration of this data in the next step (after the invalid
bit should be changed to local flags for local files).
When that happens we need to have a database in the old format already
there in order to be able to test the migration.
