Also tested what happens if the other special remote has importtree=yes
and exporttree=yes, and in that case, download via httpalso works too,
without needing to implement any importtree methods here.
It might be possible to make it automatically set exporttree=yes if the
--sameas does. Didn't try, will probably be layering issues.
Or perhaps it should be inherited by sameas like some
other configs? But then, wouldn't it also make sense to inherit
importree=yes? But as shown here, it's not needed by this kind of
remote.
"http" was too generic and easy to confuse with web. The new name makes
clear it's used in addition to some other remote. And other protocols
can use the same naming scheme.
Reduce the number of directories listed in libdirs, which makes the linker
check a lot less dead ends looking for directories.
Eliminated some directories that didn't really contain shared libraries,
or only contained the linker.
That left only 2, one in lib and one in usr/lib, so consolidate those two.
Doing it this way, rather than just consolidating all libs that might exist
into a single directory means that, if there are optimised versions of some
libs, eg in lib/subarch/foo.so, and lib/subarch2/foo.so, they don't get
moved around in a way that would make the linker pick the wrong one.
Sped up seeking files to drop by 2x, and also some performance
improvements to checking numcopies.
Interestingly, the seek speedup is not due to precaching, but I think is
due to calling getParsed earlier.
Annex.Drop had to be changed to check inAnnex there, since it was removed
from Command.Drop. All other users of Command.Drop already checked inAnnex
themselves.
