fix(syncthing): avoid writing panic log to nil fd (#10154)
### Purpose
This change fixes a logical bug in the panic log writing where we could
end up writing to a uninitialized file descriptor.
On the very first iteration, `panicFd` is nil. We enter the if `panicFd
== nil { … }` block, check for “panic:” or “fatal error:”, and if
neither matches, we skip instantiating `panicFd` altogether. However,
immediately after, still within `if panicFd == nil { … }`, we call
`panicFd.WriteString("Panic at ...")`. But `panicFd` would in this case
be `nil`, which will cause a run‐time panic.
It's not clear to me why panicFd is only initialized if the lines start
with "panic:" or "fatal error:" so I've left that logic untouched. With
this change we at least avoid the risk of writing to a nil
filedescriptor.

Tihs makes it easier to use metrics based on device and folder labels,
names, and other attributes. Other metrics which are based on folder or
device ID can be joined with these info metrics to enrich their label
sets.
```
# HELP syncthing_config_device_info Provides additional information labels on devices
# TYPE syncthing_config_device_info gauge
syncthing_config_device_info{device="I6KAH76-66SLLLB-5PFXSOA-UFJCDZC-YAOMLEK-CP2GB32-BV5RQST-3PSROAU",introducer="false",name="s1",paused="false",untrusted="false"} 1
# HELP syncthing_config_folder_info Provides additional information labels on folders
# TYPE syncthing_config_folder_info gauge
syncthing_config_folder_info{folder="default",label="The default folder",path="s2",paused="false",type="sendreceive"} 1
```
With this you can e.g. query for
```
syncthing_connections_active * on(device) group_left syncthing_config_device_info
```

This cleans up the command line parsing a little:
- Remove the hack for supporting legacy single-dash long options (e.g.
`-home`), thus enabling actual short options
- Move legacy imperative flags from under the serve command into
separate commands, e.g. `syncthing serve --paths` to see the paths list
is now `syncthing paths`, `syncthing --upgrade-check` is now `syncthing
upgrade --check`
- Add environment variable support for all remaining flags for the
`serve` command (with one exception, left for the reader to discover),
as these are now all modifiers and not imperative

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:
<img width="974" alt="Screenshot 2025-03-28 at 17 09 02"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bbe10dea-f85e-4043-9823-7cef1220b4a2"
/>
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.
At a high level, this is what I've done and why:
- I'm moving the protobuf generation for the `protocol`, `discovery` and
`db` packages to the modern alternatives, and using `buf` to generate
because it's nice and simple.
- After trying various approaches on how to integrate the new types with
the existing code, I opted for splitting off our own data model types
from the on-the-wire generated types. This means we can have a
`FileInfo` type with nicer ergonomics and lots of methods, while the
protobuf generated type stays clean and close to the wire protocol. It
does mean copying between the two when required, which certainly adds a
small amount of inefficiency. If we want to walk this back in the future
and use the raw generated type throughout, that's possible, this however
makes the refactor smaller (!) as it doesn't change everything about the
type for everyone at the same time.
- I have simply removed in cold blood a significant number of old
database migrations. These depended on previous generations of generated
messages of various kinds and were annoying to support in the new
fashion. The oldest supported database version now is the one from
Syncthing 1.9.0 from Sep 7, 2020.
- I changed config structs to be regular manually defined structs.
For the sake of discussion, some things I tried that turned out not to
work...
### Embedding / wrapping
Embedding the protobuf generated structs in our existing types as a data
container and keeping our methods and stuff:
```
package protocol
type FileInfo struct {
*generated.FileInfo
}
```
This generates a lot of problems because the internal shape of the
generated struct is quite different (different names, different types,
more pointers), because initializing it doesn't work like you'd expect
(i.e., you end up with an embedded nil pointer and a panic), and because
the types of child types don't get wrapped. That is, even if we also
have a similar wrapper around a `Vector`, that's not the type you get
when accessing `someFileInfo.Version`, you get the `*generated.Vector`
that doesn't have methods, etc.
### Aliasing
```
package protocol
type FileInfo = generated.FileInfo
```
Doesn't help because you can't attach methods to it, plus all the above.
### Generating the types into the target package like we do now and
attaching methods
This fails because of the different shape of the generated type (as in
the embedding case above) plus the generated struct already has a bunch
of methods that we can't necessarily override properly (like `String()`
and a bunch of getters).
### Methods to functions
I considered just moving all the methods we attach to functions in a
specific package, so that for example
```
package protocol
func (f FileInfo) Equal(other FileInfo) bool
```
would become
```
package fileinfos
func Equal(a, b *generated.FileInfo) bool
```
and this would mostly work, but becomes quite verbose and cumbersome,
and somewhat limits discoverability (you can't see what methods are
available on the type in auto completions, etc). In the end I did this
in some cases, like in the database layer where a lot of things like
`func (fv *FileVersion) IsEmpty() bool` becomes `func fvIsEmpty(fv
*generated.FileVersion)` because they were anyway just internal methods.

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.
