rethought the async protocol some more

Moving jobid generation to the git-annex side lets it be simplified a
lot.

Note that it will also be possible to generate one jobid per connection,
rather than a new job per request. That will make overflow not an issue,
and will avoid some work, and will simplify some of the code.

## introduction
Normally, an external special remote can only be used to do one thing at a
time. When git-annex has concurrency enabled, it will start up multiple
time, and when git-annex has concurrency enabled, it will start up multiple
processes for the same external special remote.
This extension lets a single external special remote process handle
multiple concurrent requests, which can be useful if multiple processes
multiple concurrent jobs, which can be useful if multiple processes
would use too many resources, or if it can be better coordinated using a
single process.

EXTENSIONS INFO ASYNC
EXTENSIONS ASYNC
From this point forward, *everything* that the external special remote
has to be wrapped in the async protocol. Messages git-annex sends are
unchanged.
From this point forward, every message in the protocol is tagged with a job
number, by prefixing it with "J n".
Generally the first message git-annex sends will be PREPARE.
As usual, the first message git-annex sends is generally PREPARE:
PREPARE
J 1 PREPARE
Rather than just responding PREPARE-SUCCESS, it has to be wrapped
in the async protocol:
Rather than just responding PREPARE-SUCCESS, the job number has to be
included in the reply:
RESULT-ASYNC PREPARE-SUCCESS
J 1 PREPARE-SUCCESS
Suppose git-annex wants to make some transfers. So it sends:
Suppose git-annex wants to make some transfers. It can request several
at the same time, using different job numbers:
TRANSFER RETRIEVE Key1 file1
J 2 TRANSFER RETRIEVE Key1 file1
J 3 TRANSFER RETRIEVE Key2 file2
The special remote should respond with an unique identifier for this
async job that it's going to start. The identifier can
be anything you want to use, but an incrementing number is a
reasonable choice. (The Key itself is not a good choice, because git-annex
could make different requests involving the same Key.)
START-ASYNC 1
Once that's sent, git-annex can send its next request immediately,
while that transfer is still running. For example, it might request a
second transfer, and the special remote can reply when it's started that
transfer too:
TRANSFER RETRIEVE 2 file2
START-ASYNC 2
When the special remote sends a message, such as PROGRESS, it has to
wrap it in ASYNC, to specify the job identifier.
The special remote can now perform both transfers at the same time.
If it sends PROGRESS messages for these transfers, they have to be tagged
with the job number:
ASYNC 1 PROGRESS 10
ASYNC 2 PROGRESS 500
ASYNC 1 PROGRESS 20
J 2 PROGRESS 10
J 3 PROGRESS 500
J 2 PROGRESS 20
This can also be used to query git-annex for some information.
The reply to a query is eventually sent back wrapped in `REPLY-ASYNC`.
The special remote can also send messages that query git-annex for some
information. These messages and the reply will also be tagged with a job
number.
ASYNC 1 GETCONFIG url
TRANSFER RETRIEVE 3 file3
REPLY-ASYNC 1 VALUE http://example.com/
J 2 GETCONFIG url
J 4 RETRIEVE Key3 file3
J 2 VALUE http://example.com/
Once a transfer is done, the special remote indicates this by
wrapping the usual `TRANSFER-SUCCESS` or
`TRANSFER-FAILURE` message in `ASYNC`.
One transfers are done, the special remote sends `TRANSFER-SUCCESS` tagged
with the job number.
ASYNC 2 TRANSFER-SUCCESS RETRIEVE Key2
ASYNC Key1 PROGRESS 100
ASYNC 1 TRANSFER-SUCCESS RETRIEVE Key1
J 3 TRANSFER-SUCCESS RETRIEVE Key2
J 2 PROGRESS 100
J 2 TRANSFER-SUCCESS RETRIEVE Key1
Not only transfers, but everything the special remote sends to git-annex
has to be wrapped in the async protocol.
Lots of different jobs can be requested at the same time.

CHECKPRESENT Key4

ASYNC 3 CHECKPRESENT-SUCCESS Key3

## added messages
A job always starts with a request by git-annex, and once the special
remote sends a reply -- or replies -- to that request, the job is done.
Here's the details about the additions to the protocol.
An example of sending multiple replies to a request is `LISTCONFIGS`, eg:
* `START-ASYNC JobId`
This (or `RESULT-ASYNC` must be sent in response to all requests
git-annex sends after `EXTENSIONS` has been used to negotiate the
async protocol.
The JobId is a unique value, typically an incrementing number.
This does not need to be sent immediately after git-annex sends a request;
other messages can be sent in between. But the next START-ASYNC git-annex sees
after sending a request tells it the JobId that will be used for that request.
* `ASYNC JobId Msg`
All the usual protocol messages that are sent by the external special
remote must be wrapped in this, to specify which job the message relates
to.
* `RESULT-ASYNC ResultMsg`
This is the same as sending `START-ASYNC` immediately followed by
`ASYNC` with a result message. This is often used to respond to
`PREPARE` other things that are trivial or just don't need to be handled
async.
* `REPLY-ASYNC JobId Reply`
Sent by git-annex when an `ASYNC` requested a reply.
Note that this may not be the next message received from
git-annex immediately after sending an `ASYNC` request.
J 7 LISTCONFIGS
J 7 CONFIG foo some config
J 7 CONFIG bar other config
J 7 CONFIGEND
Job numbers are not reused within a given run of a special remote,
but once git-annex has seen the last message it expects for a job,
sending other messages tagged with that job number will be rejected
as a protocol error.
To avoid overflow, job numbers should be treated as at least 64 bit
values (or as strings) by the special remote.
