b1c8f88a44 chore: remove weak hashing which does not pull its weight (#10005)
We've had weak/rolling hashing in the code for quite a while. It was a
popular request for a while, based on the belief that rsync does this
and we should too. However, the benefit is quite small; we save on
average about 0.8% of transferred blocks over the population as a whole:

/>

This would be fine if the cost was comparably low, however the downside
of attempting rolling hash matching is that we (by default) do a
complete file read on the destination in order to look for matches
before we starting pulling blocks for the file. For any larger file this
means a sometimes long, I/O-intensive pause before the file starts
syncing, for usually no benefit.

I propose we simply rip off the bandaid and save the effort.

d4770ddc77 chore(cmd): clean up commands (#9705)
Move infrastructure related commands to under `cmd/infra` and
development stuff to `cmd/dev`. The default build command builds the
regular user facing binaries: syncthing, stdiscosrv, and strelaysrv.
