deal with old repositories with non-encrypted creds

See 2f3c3aa01f for backstory about how a repo
could be in this state.

When decryption fails, the repo must be using non-encrypted creds. Note
that creds are encrypted/decrypted using the encryption cipher which is
stored in the repo, so the decryption cannot fail due to missing gpg keys
etc. (For !shared encryptiom, the cipher is iteself encrypted using some
gpg key(s), and the decryption of the cipher happens earlier, so not
affected by this change.

Print a warning message for !shared repos, and continue on using the
cipher. Wrote a page explaining what users hit by this bug should do.

* Security fix for S3 and glacier when using embedcreds=yes with

The creds embedded in the git repo were *not* encrypted.
git-annex enableremote will warn when used on a remote that has
this problem. For details, see:
https://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/insecure_embedded_creds/

git-annex had a bug in the S3 and Glacier remotes where if embedcreds=yes
was set, and the remote used encryption=pubkey or encryption=hybrid,
the embedded AWS credentials were stored in the git repository
in (effectively) plaintext, not encrypted as they were supposed to be.
That means that anyone who gets a copy of the git repository can extract the
AWS credentials from it. Which would be bad..
Fixed versions of git-annex will detect this problem when enabling such a
remote, and print a warning message (including a pointer to this web page).
This message will only be printed one time, since git-annex will
change the embedded credentials to be encrypted properly.
However, this leaves the non-encrypted version still in the git history.
If your repository has this problem, you have two courses of action to fix
it:
1. Change your AWS credentials, so the ones stored in the clear in git
won't be used.
After changing the credentials, make sure you have a
fixed version of git-annex, and you can then re-embed the new creds
into the repository, encrypted this time, by setting the
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` and `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` environment variables,
and running `git annex enableremote $remotename embedcreds=yes`
2. Remove the history of the git-annex branch of the repository.
You can use `git annex forget`` to do that; note that it will
remove other historical data too.
3. If you're the only one who has access to the repository, you could decide
to leave it as-is. It's no more insecure than if you had used
encryption=shared in the first place when setting it up.
