Note that, after changing it with enableremote, syncing won't rescan
known archives in the borg repo using the changed config. Probably not a
problem?
Also used File in some places where filenames that could theoretically
start with - are passed to borg, to avoid it confusing them with
options.
This makes sync a lot faster in the common case where there's no new
backup.
There's still room for it to be faster. Currently the old imported tree
has to be traversed, to generate the ImportableContents. Which then
gets turned around to generate the new imported tree, which is
identical. So, it would be possible to just return a "no new imports",
or an ImportableContents that has a way to graft in a tree. The latter
is probably too far to go to optimise this, unless other things need it.
The former might be worth it, but it's already pretty fast, since git
ls-tree is pretty fast.
It's unusual to use a ContentIdentifier that is not semi-unique
for different contents. Note that in importKeys, it checks if a content
identifier is one that's known before, to avoid downloading the same
content twice. But that's done in a code path not used for borg repos,
because they are thirdpartypopulated.
Still some issues to deal with, see TODO and XXX.
Here's what gets logged, for each key:
cid log:
1608582045.832799227s 6720ebad-b20e-4460-a8f2-2477361aea75 !MjAyMC0xMi0yMVQxMTozMzoxNw==:!MjAyMC0xMi0yMVQxMzowNzoyNg==
The "!Mj" are base64 encoded borg archive names, since mine were
dates and contained some characters not allowed in cid logs unescaped.
There were archives that each contained the key. This list will grow as
more borg backups are done and learned about.

May actually work now.
Note that, importKey now has to add the size to the key if it's supposed
to have size. Remote.Directory relied on the importer adding the size,
which is no longer done, so it was changed; it was the only one.
This way, importKey does not need to behave differently between regular
and thirdpartypopulated imports.
These don't have importTree in their config, because they don't support
tree import, but they do still support import, and do not support export
or key/value modification.
This is to support, eg a borg repo as a special remote, which is
populated not by running git-annex commands, but by using borg. Then
git-annex sync lists the content of the remote, learns which files are
annex objects, and treats those as present in the remote.
So, most of the import machinery is reused, to a new purpose. While
normally importtree maintains a remote tracking branch, this does not,
because the files stored in the remote are annex object files, not
user-visible filenames. But, internally, a git tree is still generated,
of the files on the remote that are annex objects. This tree is used
by retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier, etc. As with other import/export
remotes, that the tree is recorded in the export log, and gets grafted
into the git-annex branch.
importKey changed to be able to return Nothing, to indicate when an
ImportLocation is not an annex object and so should be skipped from
being included in the tree.
It did not seem to make sense to have git-annex import do this, since
from the user's perspective, it's not like other imports. So only
git-annex sync does it.
Note that, git-annex sync does not yet download objects from such
remotes that are preferred content. importKeys is run with
content downloading disabled, to avoid getting the content of all
objects. Perhaps what's needed is for seekSyncContent to be run with these
remotes, but I don't know if it will just work (in particular, it needs
to avoid trying to transfer objects to them), so I skipped that for now.
(Untested and unused as of yet.)

Don't want to try to use these remotes as key/value remotes, which will
surely fail. It only recently became possible for importtree to be set
w/o exporttree, so before this code was ok.
(cherry picked from commit 97599cb0f7f4115aa5a3e81a91ee3d1d6c52dc84)
I think this could cause unnecessary changes to the git-annex branch,
and retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier is now also used for getting
content from importtree=yes remotes, so it would happen more frequently
so let's avoid.
