This is less erorr-prone, and easier for the user to reason about; it
preserves the man page's promise that only explicitly included
information will be copied.
filterBranch should be reusable for copy-branch command.
Changed LogVariety to differentiate between LocationLog and UrlLog;
only location logs contain uuids and need to be filtered by uuid,
while url logs do not. This does not change current behavior,
but it will let filterBranch be reused without filtering url logs
incorrectly.
This oversight didn't cause any problems because the only place that
uses the information is dropDead, which handles Nothing the same as Just
OtherLog.
ghc 8.8.4 seems to have changed something that broke code that has been
successfully using forkProcess since 2012. Likely a change to GC internals.
Since forkProcess has never had clear documentation about how to
use it safely, avoid using it at all. Instead, when git-annex needs to
daemonize itself, re-run the git-annex command, in a new process group
and session.

Similar to what commit 675556fd9a did for
adding a non-annexed file, this prevents the smudge clean filter
recognising the inode if git add is later run on the unannexed file.
Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking
for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not
noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options.
This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly
to how the matching options are handled.
