use GIT keys for export of non-annexed files

Browse source 
This solves the problem that import of such files gets confused and
converts them back to annexed files.

The import code already used GIT keys internally when it determined a
file should not be annexed. So now when it sees a GIT key that export
used, it already does the right thing.

This also means that even older version of git-annex can import and will
do the right thing, once a fixed version has exported. Still, there may
be other complications around upgrades; still need to think it all
through.

Moved gitShaKey and keyGitSha from Key to Annex.Export since they're
only used for export/import.

Documented GIT keys in backends, since they do appear in the git-annex
branch now.

* `GIT` -- This is used internally by git-annex when exporting trees
containing files stored in git, rather than git-annex. It represents a
git sha. This is never used for git-annex links, but information about
keys of this type is stored in the git-annex branch.
