Most of the changes here involve global option parsing: GlobalSetter
changed so it can both run an Annex action to set state, but can also
change the AnnexRead value, which is immutable once the Annex monad is
running.
That allowed a debugselector value to be added to AnnexRead, seeded
from the git config. The --debugfilter option's GlobalSetter then updates
the AnnexRead.
This improved GlobalSetter can later be used to move more stuff to
AnnexRead. Things that don't involve a git config will be easier to
move, and probably a *lot* of things can be moved eventually.
fastDebug, while implemented, is not used anywhere yet. But it should be
fast..
Seems only fair, that, like git runs git-annex, git-annex runs
git-annex-foo.
Implementation relies on O.forwardOptions, so that any options are passed
through to the addon program. Note that this includes options before the
subcommand, eg: git-annex -cx=y foo
Unfortunately, git-annex eats the --help/-h options.
This is because it uses O.hsubparser, which injects that option into each
subcommand. Seems like this should be possible to avoid somehow, to let
commands display their own --help, instead of the dummy one git-annex
displays.
The two step searching mirrors how git works, it makes finding
git-annex-foo fast when "git annex foo" is run, but will also support fuzzy
matching, once findAllAddonCommands gets implemented.

This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
