As foretold by the prophecy, "once the database refactor is merged, then
shall appear a request to propagate errors from the store known
throughout the land as the NamedspacedKV, and it shall be good".
This PR does two things, because one lead to the other:
- Move the leveldb specific stuff into a small "backend" package that
defines a backend interface and the leveldb implementation. This allows,
potentially, in the future, switching the db implementation so another
KV store should we wish to do so.
- Add proper error handling all along the way. The db and backend
packages are now errcheck clean. However, I drew the line at modifying
the FileSet API in order to keep this manageable and not continue
refactoring all of the rest of Syncthing. As such, the FileSet methods
still panic on database errors, except for the "database is closed"
error which is instead handled by silently returning as quickly as
possible, with the assumption that we're anyway "on the way out".
We're going to need the db.Instance to keep some state, and for that to
work we need the same one passed around everywhere. Hence this moves the
leveldb-specific file opening stuff into the db package and exports the
dbInstance type.
