Not all storage types support paths as a physical thing that must be created/destroyed. Add a feature to determine which drivers use paths and simplify the driver API as much as possible given that knowledge and by implementing as much path logic as possible in the Storage object.
Remove the ignoreMissing parameter from pathSync() since it is not used and makes little sense.
Create a standard list of error messages for the drivers to use and apply them where the code was modified -- there is plenty of work still to be done here.
Remove "File" and "Driver" from object names so they are shorter and easier to keep consistent.
Also remove the "driver" directory so storage implementations are visible directly under "storage".
The function pointer casting used when creating drivers made changing interfaces difficult and led to slightly divergent driver implementations. Unit testing caught production-level errors but there were a lot of small issues and the process was harder than it should have been.
Use void pointers instead so that no casts are required. Introduce the THIS_VOID and THIS() macros to make dealing with void pointers a little safer.
Since we don't want to expose void pointers in header files, driver functions have been removed from the headers and the various driver objects return their interface type. This cuts down on accessor methods and the vast majority of those functions were not being used. Move functions that are still required to .intern.h.
Remove the special "C" crypto functions that were used in libc and instead use the standard interface.
There is only one instance in the core code where this helps. It is mostly helpful in the tests.
There is an argument to be made that only THROW_SYS_ERROR*() variants should be used in the core code to improve test coverage. If so, that will be the subject of a future commit.
In most cases the JSON type is known so this is more efficient than converting to Variant first, both in terms of memory and time.
Also rename some of the existing functions for consistency.
These are more efficient than creating buffers in place when needed.
After replacement discovered that bufNewStr() and BufNewZ() were not being used in the core code so removed them. This required using the macros in tests which is not the usual pattern.
These work almost exactly like the String constant macros. However, a struct per variant type was required which meant custom constructors and destructors for each type.
Propagate the variant constants out into the codebase wherever they are useful.
This condition was not being properly checked for in the C code and it caused problems in the info command, at the very least.
Instead of applying a local fix, introduce a new path option type that will rigorously check the format of any incoming paths.

This issue was a result of STORAGE_REPO_PATH prepending an extra stanza when the stanza was specified on the command line.
The tests missed this because by some strange coincidence the WAL dirs were empty for each test that specified a stanza. Add new tests to prevent a regression.

The C code can't get the cipher type from the storage object because the C storage object does not have encryption baked in like the Perl code does.
Instead, check backup.info to see if encryption is enabled. This will need to rethought if another cipher type is added but for now it works fine.
Replace the repository path with just "the repository". The path is not important in this context and it is clearer to state where the stanzas are missing from.
There were some small differences in ordering and how the C version handled missing directories. It may be that the C version is more consistent, but for now it is more important to be compatible with the Perl version.
These differences were missed because the C info command was not wired into main.c so it was not being tested in regression. This commit does not fix the wiring issue because there will likely be a release soon and it is too big a change to put in at the last moment.
After a stanza-upgrade backups for the old cluster are displayed until they expire. Cluster info was output newest to oldest which meant after an upgrade the most recent backup would no longer be output last.
Update the text output ordering so the most recent backup is always output last.

The info command will only be executed in C if the repository is local, i.e. not located on a remote repository host. S3 is considered "local" in this case.
This is a direct migration from Perl to integrate as seamlessly with the remaining Perl code as possible. It should not be possible to determine if the C version is running unless debug-level logging is enabled.
