fix a case where file tracked by git unexpectedly becomes annex pointer file

Browse source 
smudge: When annex.largefiles=anything, files that were already stored in
git, and have not been modified could sometimes be converted to being
stored in the annex. Changes in 7.20191024 made this more of a problem.
This case is now detected and prevented.

Make `git-annex add --annex` and `git-annex add --git` add a specific file to
annex or git, bypassing annex.largefiles and all other configuration and state.
One reason to want this is that it avoids users doing stuff like this:
git -c annex.largefiles=anything annex add foo.c
Such a temporary setting of annex.largefiles can be problimatic, as explored in
<https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/A_case_where_file_tracked_by_git_unexpectedly_becomes_annex_pointer_file/>
Also, this could also be used to easily switch a file from one storage to
the other. I suppose the file would have to be touched first to make git-annex
add process it?
