git annex get from exports

Browse source 
Straightforward enough, except for the needed belt-and-suspenders sanity
checks to avoid foot shooting due to exports not being key/value stores.

* Even when annex.verify=false, always verify from exports.
* Only get files from exports that use a backend that supports
  checksum verification.
* Never trust exports, even if the user says to, because then
  `git annex drop` would drop content if the export seemed to contain
  a copy.

@ -17,7 +17,9 @@ there need to be a new interface in supported remotes?
Work is in progress. Todo list:
* Use retrieveExport when getting from export remotes.
* `git annex get --from export` works in the repo that exported to it,
but in another repo, the export db won't be populated, so it won't work.
Maybe just show a useful error message in this case?
* Efficient handling of renames.
* Support export to aditional special remotes (S3 etc)
* Support export to external special remotes.
