unannex: New, much slower, but more safe behavior

Browse source 
Copies files out of the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking
other files that link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with  "git annex
unused".

(The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard
links to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it
is potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly
change content stored in the annex.)
