Fix bug when used with a recently cloned repository, where
"merging" messages were included in the output of configlist (and perhaps
other commands) and caused a "Failed to get annex.uuid configuration"
error.
This does not seem to have been a reversion.
I saw this with configlist, but it seems possible for other commands to be
effected, and it might not always happen only after a fresh clone. Eg, if a
foo/git-annex branch is pushed to the remote, the next git-annex-shell will
auto-merge it and display the message.
Decided to run all git-annex-shell commands with noMessages,
even ones that don't currently use stdout for structured communication.
Better to keep open the possibility for using stdout in the future.

The bug was that withFile closes the handle afterwards, but the content
of the file was not read due to laziness. Using readFile avoids it.

findShellCommand needs a full path to a file in order to check it for a
shebang on Windows. It was being run with only the base name of the external
special remote program, which would only work when it was in the current
directory.
This is why users in
https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone/pull/10 and elsewhere
were complaining that the previous improvements to git-annex didn't make
git-remote-rclone work on Windows.
Also, reworked checkearlytermination, which while it worked, seemed
to rely on a race condition. And, improved its error messages.

The slowdown is not going to be large in typical small-ish repos.
And it does not seem to matter if the assistant reacts a little bit slower
in situations involving the expensive scan, since:
a) Those situations typically involve getting back in sync after something
has changed on a remote, often after a disconnect of some duration.
So taking a few seconds more is not noticable.
b) If the scan finds things that it needs to do, it will start
blocking anyway after 10 transfers are queued (due to use of
queueTransferWhenSmall). So, only the speed of finding the first 10
transfers will be impacted by this change.
