feat(file-based): changes for not mirroring paths (#205)

The Source config receives a new option: Preserve Sub-Directories in File Paths. By default this is enabled (the current behavior).

The new option should only appear when "Copy Raw Files" sync mode is enabled.
When enabled, the sync will:
Validate uniqueness. During at the start of each read operation, the source will check all files that exist and are defined in the stream. This will be performed once per stream. If any files exist with the same file name, the operation will fail.
Sync without intermediate subdirectory information. During sync, the source will send relative filenames which exclude any path info between the extract root and the filename. To the destination, each file will appear to exist at the root of the extract location.
