After talking it over in [[bugs/move_violates_numcopies]], we found a nicer
compromise for `git annex move`. Rather than strictly enforcing numcopies,
it avoids making any bad situations worse. For example, when there's
only one copy of a file, it can be moved even if numcopies is higher.
But, when numcopies is 2 and the source and destination repos have a copy,
move will not drop from the source repo, since that would make it worse.
Implemented that today. While doing so I got bit by the inverted Ord
instance for TrustLevel, so spent a while cleaning that up.
