annexInsteadOf config

Browse source 
Added config `url.<base>.annexInsteadOf` corresponding to git's
`url.<base>.pushInsteadOf`, to configure the urls to use for accessing the
git-annex repositories on a server without needing to configure
remote.name.annexUrl in each repository.

While one use case for this would be rewriting urls to use annex+http,
I decided not to add any kind of special case for that. So while
git-annex p2phttp, when serving multiple repositories, needs an url
of eg "annex+http://example.com/git-annex/ for each of them, rewriting an
url like "https://example.com/git/foo/bar" with this config set to
"https://example.com/git/" will result in eg
"annex+http://example.com/git-annex/foo/bar", which p2phttp does not
support.

That seems better dealt with in either git-annex p2phttp or a http
middleware, rather than complicating the config with a special case for
annex+http.

Anyway, there are other use cases for this that don't involve annex+http.

You would need to set 2 configs, but the separation is clear.
And you could do it once in your global git config for whatever
And you could set it once in your global git config for whatever
servers you commonly use.
Another benefit to is that the new `git-annex p2phttp` server
needs annexUrl to be configured to a different url than the git url
when using it. annexInsteadOf would let that be configured a
single time for all urls on a given git server.
Update: Implemented that. Let me know if you think it solves your problem
well enough.
