BREAKING CHANGES SINCE V5

Rdio Scanner is now distributed as a precompiled executable in a zip file, which also contains documentation on how it works.

The backend server has been completely rewritten in GO language. Therefore, all the subpackages used in v5 had to be replaced with new ones. These new subpackages do not necessarily have the same functionality as those of v5.

• No more polling mode for dirwatch, which in a way is a good thing as polling was disastrous for CPU consumption. The alternative is to install a local instance and use the downstream feature to feed your main instance.
• Due to the polling situation, the Docker version of Rdio Scanner doesn't have the dirwatch feature.
• Default database name changed from database.sqlite to rdio-scanner.db. You will need to rename your database file with the new name if you want to convert it. Otherwise, a new database will be created.

• Some code refactoring.

v6.0.5

• Force mime type to application/javascript for .js extensions. (see golang/go#32350).
