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)`.

For few commands, RClone counts a error multiple times. This was fixed by
creating a new error type which keeps a flag to remember if the error has
already been counted or not. The CountError function now wraps the original
error eith the above new error type and returns it.
In a28239f005 we made --files-from obey --no-traverse. In the
process this caused --files-from without --no-traverse to do a
complete recursive scan unecessarily.
This was only noticeable in users of fs/march, so sync/copy/move/etc
not in ls/lsf/etc.
This fix makes sure that we use conventional directory listings in
fs/march unless `--files-from` and `--no-traverse` is set or
`--fast-list` is active.
Fixes#3619
Prior to this fix, a request such as
rclone lsf -R --include "/dir/**" remote:
Would use ListR which is very inefficient as it lists the whole remote
for one directory.
This changes it to use recursive walking if the filters imply any
directory filtering. So `--include *.jpg` and `--exclude *.jpg` will
still use ListR wheras `--include "/dir/**` will not.
- Change rclone/fs interfaces to accept context.Context
- Update interface implementations to use context.Context
- Change top level usage to propagate context to lover level functions
Context propagation is needed for stopping transfers and passing other
request-scoped values.
In c5ac96e9e7 we made --files-from only read the objects specified and
don't scan directories.
This caused problems with Google drive (very very slow) and B2
(excessive API consumption) so it was decided to make the old
behaviour (traversing the directories) the default with --files-from
and use the existing --no-traverse flag (which has exactly the right
semantics) to enable the new non scanning behaviour.

It otherwise has the nearly the same interface as walk.Walk which it
will fall back to if it can't use ListR.
Using walk.ListR will speed up file system operations by default and
use much less memory and start immediately compared to if --fast-list
had been supplied.
Before this change using --files-from would scan all the directories
that the files could possibly be in causing rclone to do more work
that was necessary.
After this change, rclone constructs an in memory tree using the
--fast-list mechanism but from all of the files in the --files-from
list and without scanning any directories.
Any objects that are not found in the --files-from list are ignored
silently.
This mechanism is used for sync/copy/move (march) and all of the
listing commands ls/lsf/md5sum/etc (walk).
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.
