this is essentially the same as 'New', but for previously seen messages,
such as those that would have been instantly expunged (because they were
marked as deleted), those that we failed to store for some reason, and
already expired ones that are now flagged.

change it from --{push,pull} to --{new,gone,flags,upgrade}.
that alone doesn't change anything; combining it with any other option
would cause a complaint anyway.
this enables us to introduce --{push,pull}-full, which will matter when
--full doesn't actually include all type flags any more, as we'll then
be able to combine it with the extra type flag(s). in the same vein, we
now advertize "Sync Full" instead of "Sync All" (both continue to be
recognized).
this is more symmetrical with New, and results in some less dodgy
grammar. it also avoids confusion with the \Deleted flag.
fwiw, the pedantically correct name would be Expunges, but that's
confusingly close to the target-side expunge options. also, it's longer.
speak more accurately of redundancy, not conflict. these are fatal
errors at all only because the user likely meant something else than
they typed, so we force them to think again.
this makes config+data file "sets" relocatable, which is useful for
testing.
this is technically a gratuitous backwards incompatible behavior
change, but to the degree that anyone uses relative paths at all, they
almost certainly rely on PWD being set up such that they won't see a
difference.
there are fallbacks to the old locations for compatibility.
the new locations use "isync" instead of "mbsync", which is preparation
for renaming the executable back in v1.6.
- wrap flow-controlled statements that contain blocks into blocks
themselves
- wrap bodies of do-while()s into blocks
- use braces on 'else' symmetrically (this obviously has a cascading
effect, so this patch touches lots of lines)
- attach braces
unavoidably, the rules are sometimes broken around #ifdef-ery.
while at it, add/fix some licenses/copyrights/comments:
- it makes no sense to have a GPL exception in scripts
- ted did not contribute to the man page
- tst_timers is not part of the mbsync executable
- explicitly put the build system under GPL and add copyrights
this is a de-optimization, but it makes the code consistent with the
other sections (which do not use the shortcut due to having to
post-process the data or being encapsulated by a function call).
the underlying metaphor refers to an inhumane practice, so using it
casually is rightfully offensive to many people. it isn't even a
particularly apt metaphor, as it suggests a strict hierarchy that is
counter to mbsync's highly symmetrical mode of operation.
the far/near terminology has been chosen as the replacement, as it is a
natural fit for the push/pull terminology. on the downside, due to these
not being nouns, a few uses are a bit awkward, and several others had to
be amended to include 'side'. also, it's conceptually quite close to
remote/local, which matches the typical use case, but is maybe a bit too
suggestive of actually non-existing limitations.
the new f/n suffixes of the -C/-R/-X options clash with pre-existing
options, so direct concatenation of short options is even less practical
than before (some suffixes of -D already clashed), but doing that leads
to unreadable command lines anyway.
as with previous deprecations, all pre-existing command line and config
options keep working, but yield a warning. the state files are silently
upgraded.
... by making a lot of objects unsigned, and some signed.
casts which lose precision and change the sign in one go (ssize_t and
time_t to uint on LP64) are made explicit as well.
empty strings were previously meaningless, and starting with 72c2d695a,
failure to handle them lead to bogus results when the IMAP hierarchy
separator is legitimately empty (when the server genuinely supports none
and none is manually configured). non-null can be asserted more cleanly
than null-or-non-empty, so change the api like that.
incidentally, this also removes the need to work around gcc's bogus
warning in -Os mode.

propagating many messages from a fast store (typically maildir or a
local IMAP server) to a slow asynchronous store could cause gigabytes of
data being buffered. avoid this by throttling fetches if the target
context reports memory usage above a configurable limit.

... for windows fs compatibility.
the maildir-specific InfoDelimiter inherits the global FieldDelimiter
(which affects SyncState), based on the assumption that if the sync
state is on a windows FS, the mailboxes certainly will be as well, while
the inverse is not necessarily true (when running on unix, anyway).

the combinations of the various options made quite a mess. additionally,
'RequireSSL no' is inherently insecure - "use SSL if available" is plain
stupid.
the old options are still accepted, but will elicit a warning.
sneaky change on the side: the wording of the man page is changed from
"outside any section" to "before any section" to get global options.
this is not entirely true ... the previously existing options behave as
before, while the two newcomers actually affect subsequent channels.
