Add an option to give git-annex a path to a RAM disk, and an option to set the maximum space to be used there. git-annex often knows the size of the files it is downloading, since it's part of the key, so can determine in advance if a tempfile of that size would fit on the RAM disk. One could instead symlink `.git/annex/tmp/` to a RAM disk, but this could cause memory overflow if a large file is transferred.
