Transfers from or to a local git repo could fail without a reason being
given, if the content failed to verify, or if the object file's stat
changed while it was being copied. Now display messages in these cases.

When stall detection is enabled, and a transfer is in progress,
it would display a doubled message:
(transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock) (transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock)
That happened because the forward retry decider had a start size of 0,
and an end size of whatever amount of the object the other process had
downloaded. So it incorrectly thought that the transferrer process had
made progress, when it had in fact immediately given up with that
message.
Instead, use the reported value from the progress meter. If a remote
does not report progress, this will mean it doesn't forward retry, in a
situation where it used to. But most remotes do report progress, and any
remote that does not can be fixed to, by using watchFileSize when
downloading. Also, some remotes might preallocate the temp file (eg
bittorrent), so relying on statting its size at this level to get
progress is dubious.
The same change was made to Annex/Transfer.hs, although only
Annex/TransferrerPool.hs needed to be changed to avoid the duplicate
message.
(An alternate fix would have been to start the retry decider with the
size of the object file before downloading begins, rather than 0.)

Freeze first sets the file perms, and then runs
freezecontent-command. Thaw runs thawcontent-command before
restoring file permissions. This is in case the freeze command
prevents changing file perms, as eg setting a file immutable does.
Also, changing file perms tends to mess up previously set ACLs.
git-annex init's probe for crippled filesystem uses them, so if file perms
don't work, but freezecontent-command manages to prevent write to a file,
it won't treat the filesystem as crippled.
When the the filesystem has been probed as crippled, the hooks are not
used, because there seems to be no point then; git-annex won't be relying
on locking annex objects down. Also, this avoids them being run when the
file perms have not been changed, in case they somehow rely on
git-annex's setting of the file perms in order to work.

Remove closed bugs and todos that were last edited or commented before 2020.
Except for ones tagged projects/* since projects like datalad want to keep
around records of old deleted bugs longer.
Command line used:

sync: Partly work around github behavior that first branch to be pushed to
a new repository is assumed to be the head branch, by not pushing
synced/git-annex first.
github expects master (or whatever the name is) to be pushed first, but
git-annex sync can't, because it's got to also support pushes to non-bare
repos where pushing master fails, as explained in the big comment. So
pushing synced/master is not entirely a fix, but at least it makes github
default to a branch with the stuff the user expects in it, not a bunch of
annex log files.
Aside from fixing github to not make this assumption, or improving
the git push protocol to include what the current HEAD is, the only other
approach I can think of is to identify git push's progress messages and
display those when pushing master, while filtering out error messages
about non-fast-forward etc. But git doesn't provide a way to separate out
or identify its progress messages.
