add v6; keep v5 working for now and manual upgrade

Browse source 
Since all places where a repo is used in direct mode need to have git-annex
upgraded before the repo can safely be converted to v6, the upgrade needs
to be manual for now.

I suppose that at some point I'll want to drop all the direct mode support
code. At that point, will stop supporting v5, and will need to auto-upgrade
any remaining v5 repos. If possible, I'd like to carry the direct mode
support for say, a year or so, to give people plenty of time to upgrade and
avoid disruption.

Upgrade should be handled automatically.
On upgrade, update .gitattributes with a stock configuration, unless
it already mentions "filter=annex".
On upgrade, update $GIT_DIR/info/attributes with a stock configuration,
unless it already mentions "filter=annex".
Upgrading a direct mode repo needs to switch it out of bare mode, and
needs to run `git annex unlock` on all files (or reach the same result).
So will need to stage changes to all annexed files.
When a repo has some clones indirect and some direct, the upgraded repo
will have all files unlocked, necessarily in all clones.
will have all files unlocked, necessarily in all clones. This happens
automatically, because when the direct repos are upgraded that causes the
files to be unlocked, while the indirect upgrades don't touch the files.
