The packages causing build errors are being disabled for now to let us split up
the work in the different driver implementations without blocking integration
into the main branch. The s3 and azure implementations need some effort to add
Stat support. The ipc package needs that work plus some care around hanging
send calls.
This change brings the storagedriver API in line with the Go standard library's
use of int64 for offsets. The main benefit is simplicity in interfacing with
the io library reducing the number of type conversions in simple code.
This only works for a specific whitelist of error types, which is
currently all errors in the storagedriver package.
Also improves storagedriver tests to enforce proper error types are
returned
Custom storage drivers can register a factory to create the driver by
name, similar to the database/sql package's Register and Open
factory.Create returns an in-process driver if registered or an IPC
driver if one can be found, erroring otherwise
This standardizes parameter passing for creation of storage drivers
Also adds documentation for storagedriver package and children
