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.
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.
This new implementation should behave exactly like the old Perl code with the exception of updated log messages.
Remove as much of the Perl code as possible without breaking other commands.
This command was previously forked off from the archive-push command which required a bit of artificial option and log manipulation.
A separate command is easier to test and will work on platforms that don't have fork(), e.g. Windows.
