#11416: S3 path-style requests not working

Hi,
according to the changelog of 7.2.0 and this ticket
(https://trac.cyberduck.io/ticket/10956), the possibility to configure
path-style for S3 was removed. Later two mechanisms were added to
automatically detect when path-style should be used:
- Situation 1: When server is an IP address:
https://trac.cyberduck.io/changeset/48257
- Situation 2: When A/AAAA record for bucket.hostname.example is answered
with `NXDOMAIN`: https://trac.cyberduck.io/changeset/48332
However, there are use-cases when both situations don't apply but path-
style might still be required for the connection to work.
For me situation 1 will not apply as I have to use a domain name so the
SSL certificate can be verified. Situation 2 also does not apply because
we're using wildcard DNS records for `*.hostname.example`. In this case
Cyberduck checks for a A record of `bucket.hostname.example` which
obviously exists but it does not point to the correct system as the S3
system is configured to work with path-style buckets only.
Other people are having the same issue with wildcard DNS setup
(https://trac.cyberduck.io/ticket/10956#comment:10) or with a nameserver
of their provider which answers to requests with own IP addresses
(https://trac.cyberduck.io/ticket/10888#comment:31, bad practice but it's
out there..).
Therefore it would be great to have a config option to disable the
automatic detection and specifically set the mode to path-style.
Besides that it seems that the mechanism for situation 2 (auto-detect with
DNS lookup) is broken on MacOS 11.0.1 and Windows 10, Cyberduck 7.7.2. I
tried it with a different S3 system that does not rely on wildcard DNS
records. I am able to connect to the system, list buckets and files but as
soon as I initiate a download, an error message appears, clearly
indicating it is trying to resolve the non-existing domain and fails:
{{{
Failure to read attributes of file.png.
bucket.hostname.example. DNS is the network service that translates a
server name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by
having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can
also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing
access to the network.
}}}
So it seems as if the auto-detection works for the initial connect and
file browser but not for downloading files.
Let me know in case I should provide more details.
