convert Key to ShortByteString

This adds the overhead of a copy when serializing and deserializing keys.
I have not benchmarked much, but runtimes seem barely changed at all by that.

When a lot of keys are in memory, it improves memory use.

And, it prevents keys sometimes getting PINNED in memory and failing to GC,
which is a problem ByteString has sometimes. In particular, git-annex sync
from a borg special remote had that problem and this improved its memory
use by a large amount.
