rename config to annex.security.allowed-compute-programs

And require for enable as well as autoenable.

It seemed asking for trouble for `git-annex enable foo` to use whatever
compute program is stored in the git config, without verifying that the
user wants that program to be used.

Note that it would be good to allow `git-annex enable foo program=...`
to be used without the program being in the git config. Not implemented yet
though.

The `autoenable` parameter can be set to "true" like with other special
remotes to make git-annex automatically enable this special remote when
run in a new clone of the repository. However, for security, autoenabling
is only done when the git config `annex.security.autoenable-compute-programs`
includes the name of the compute program.
Any program can be passed to `git-annex initremote`. However, when enabling
a compute special remote later with `git-annex enableremote` or due to
"autoenable=true", the program must be listed in the git config
`annex.security.allowed-compute-programs`.
All other "field=value" parameters passed to `initremote` will be passed
to the program when running [[git-annex-addcomputed]]. Note that when the
