866e850842 MANPAGE: improve markdown rendering
The man page is rendered on github at
https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/blob/master/Documentation/MANPAGE.md .
Improve formatting a little.

f3c777d5ea 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.

e36a0ebf18 main: add "-sharedstorage" flag
At the moment, it does two things:

1. Disable stat() caching so changes to the backing storage show up
   immediately.
2. Disable hard link tracking, as the inode numbers on the backing
   storage are not stable when files are deleted and re-created behind
   our back. This would otherwise produce strange "file does not exist"
   and other errors.

26a6e61a46 MANPAGE: update exit codes
The exit codes have been documented in CLI_ABI.md for a while,
but they should also be listed in the man page.

Also fix the rendering of "[-o COMMA-SEPARATED-OPTIONS]", where
the square brackets where interpreted as something. Escape all
square brackets to be safe.

f1945c4daa Add -forcedecode
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 .

0f8d3318a3 main, fusefrontend: add "-noprealloc" option
Preallocation is very slow on hdds that run btrfs. Give the
user the option to disable it. This greatly speeds up small file
operations but reduces the robustness against out-of-space errors.

Also add the option to the man page.

9cf3ced0ce main: also accept options at the end via "-o"
For compatability with mount(1), options are also accepted as
"-o COMMA-SEPARATED-OPTIONS" at the end of the command line.
For example, "-o q,zerokey" is equivalent to "-q -zerokey".

15b88756ad main: add "-o" option to enable "suid" and "dev"
Device files and suid binaries are often not needed when running
gocryptfs as root. As they are potentially dangerous, let the
user enable them explicitely via the new "-o" option instead of
always enabling them when running as root.

1dcafb99ff main: drop "on-disk format" from -version output, add Go version
As v0.4 introduced ext4-style feature flags, the on-disk format version
is unlinkely to change. Drop it from the version output to reduce
clutter. Use "gocryptfs -version -debug" to see it.

Add the Go version string because only Go 1.6 and newer have an optimized
AES-GCM implementation. This will help users to understand the performance
of their build.

49b597f07c prefer_openssl: autodetect whether to use OpenSSL or Go GCM
Go GCM is faster than OpenSSL if the CPU has AES instructions
and you are running Go 1.6+.

The "-openssl" option now defaults to "auto".

"gocryptfs -debug -version" displays the result of the autodetection.

See https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/23 for details and
benchmarks.
