rsync special remote support for crippled filesystem mode

Browse source 
Cannot make a hard link, have to copy.

I did find a way to make it work without setting up a tree, just using
--include and --exclude. But it needs the same hash directories to be used
on both sides, which is normally not the case. Still, I hope one day I will
convert non-bare repos to use the same hash dirs as everything else, and
then this will get more efficient.

Due to use of the FAT filesystem, which doesn't do symlinks, [[desymlink]]
is probably needed for at least older Android devices that have SD cards.
Additionally, cripped filesystem mode is needed, to avoid hard links,
file modes, etc.
## TODO
* rsync backend creates hard links
* migrate creates hard links between old and new keys
* avoid all symlink creation in crippled filesystem + direct mode
