Open Cloud Mesh

From 8.0.0, Seafile supports OCM protocol. With OCM, user can share library to other server which enabled OCM too.

Seafile currently supports sharing between Seafile servers with version greater than 8.0, and sharing from NextCloud to Seafile since 9.0.

These two functions cannot be enabled at the same time
