Added SETURIPRESENT and SETURIMISSING to external special remote protocol

Useful for things like ipfs that don't use regular urls.

An external special remote can add a regular url to a key, and then
git-annex get will download it from the web. But for ipfs, we want to
instead tell git-annex that the uri uses OtherDownloader. Before this
change, the external special remote protocol lacked a way to do that.
