main: Add '-devrandom' commandline option
Allows to use /dev/random for generating the master key instead of the
default Go implementation. When the kernel random generator has been
properly initialized both are considered equally secure, however:
* Versions of Go prior to 1.9 just fall back to /dev/urandom if the
getrandom() syscall would be blocking (Go Bug #19274)
* Kernel versions prior to 3.17 do not support getrandom(), and there
is no check if the random generator has been properly initialized
before reading from /dev/urandom
This is especially useful for embedded hardware with low-entroy. Please
note that generation of the master key might block indefinitely if the
kernel cannot harvest enough entropy.
We now require Go v1.13 and Kernel versions should have also moved on.
Make the flag a no-op.

We used to do validation using lists of mandatory feature flags.
With the introduction of XChaCha20Poly1305, this became too
simplistic, as it uses a different IV length, hence disabling
GCMIV128.
Add a dedicated function, Validate(), with open-coded validation
logic.
The validation and creation logic also gets XChaCha20Poly1305
support, and gocryptfs -init -xchacha now writes the flag into
gocryptfs.conf.
Our git version is v2+ for some time now, but go.mod
still declared v1. Hopefully making both match makes
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/v2 work.
All the import paths have been fixed like this:
find . -name \*.go | xargs sed -i s%github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/%github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/v2/%
TrezorPayload stores 32 random bytes used for unlocking
the master key using a Trezor security module. The randomness makes sure
that a unique unlock value is used for each gocryptfs filesystem.
As soon as we don't need them anymore, overwrite
keys with zeros and make sure they run out of scope
so we don't create a risk of inadvertedly using all-zero
keys for encryption.

Force decode of encrypted files even if the integrity check fails, instead of
failing with an IO error. Warning messages are still printed to syslog if corrupted
files are encountered.
It can be useful to recover files from disks with bad sectors or other corrupted
media.
Closes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/pull/102 .
Raw64 is supported (but was disabled by default) since gocryptfs
v1.2. However, the implementation was buggy because it forgot
about long names and symlinks.
Disable it for now by default and enable it later, together
with HKDF.
...but keep it disabled by default for new filesystems.
We are still missing an example filesystem and CLI arguments
to explicitely enable and disable it.
As we have dropped Go 1.4 compatibility already, and will add
a new feature flag for gocryptfs v1.3 anyway, this is a good
time to enable Raw64 as well.
There is no security reason for doing this, but it will allow
to consolidate the code once we drop compatibility with gocryptfs v1.2
(and earlier) filesystems.
