Mostly the username is only used for the git committer or other display
purposes, and we can just fall back to a dummy value in these cases.
The only remaining place where an error is thrown is when starting local
pairing, which needs the username to be known.
When gpg.program is configured, it's used to get the command to run for
gpg. Useful on systems that have only a gpg2 command or want to use it
instead of the gpg command.
This works, but needs more testing and work on cases like encrypted repos,
enabling existing repositories, etc.

Most of the time, there will be no discreprancy between programPath and
readProgramFile.
But, the programFile might have been written by an old version of git-annex
that is still installed, while a newer one is currently running. In this
case, we want to run the same one that's currently running.
This is especially important for things like the GIT_SSH=git-annex used for
ssh connection caching.
The only code that still uses readProgramFile directly is the upgrade code,
which needs to know where the standalone git-annex was installed, in order to
upgrade it.
This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.

avoid editing repo for same reasons as in
52601eb606
avoid stomping on its description, even though no description exists until
after syncing is complete
Just after enabing a ssh remote, we've not synced with it yet, so its
description and group are not known. So, avoid showing edit form so user
doesn't see blank info. Instead, redirect to dashboard.
Avoid stomping on existing group and preferred content settings
when enabling or combining with an already existing remote.
Two level fix. First, use defaultStandardGroup rather than
setStandardGroup, so if there is an existing configuration in the git-annex
branch, it's not overwritten.
To handle pre-existing ssh remotes (including gcrypt), a second level is
needed, because before syncing with the remote, it's configuration won't be
available locally. (And syncing could take a long time.) So, in this case,
keep track of whether the remote is being created or enabled, and only set
configs when creating it.

This is the capstone in making the webapp remember ssh remotes
so they can be easily enabled in other clones of the repository.
Currently, the user will need to enter a password to enable the ssh remote,
but everything else is filled in automatically.

The repository must have been added using initremote.
Turned out to be much much simpler than expected, because I was able to
reuse the existing code for enabling rsync and gcrypt remotes, which
was already sufficiently general that it will also work for ssh remotes.
Total win!

Avoid any possibilty of prompting in ssh setup in webapp.
Prticularly on Windows this was a problem, it seemed to enter an infinite
loop. I think that ssh can sometimes use SSH_ASKPASS for y/n prompting,
when no controlling TTY is available, and since git-annex always answers
back with the host's password, not y/n, it looped.

When setting up a remote on a ssh server, prompt for a password inside the
webapp, rather than relying on ssh's own password prompting in the terminal
the webapp was started from, or ssh-askpass.
Avoids double prompting for the ssh password (and triple-prompting on
windows for rsync.net), since the entered password is cached for 10 minutes
and this cached password is reused when setting up the repository, after
the initial probe.
When the user has an existing ssh key set up, they can choose to use it,
rather than entering a password. The webapp used to probe for this case
automatically, so this is a little harder, but it's an advanced user thing.
Note that this commit is known to break enabling existing rsync
repositories. It hs not been tested with gcrypt repositories. It's not been
successfully tested yet on Windows.

* webapp: Support using git-annex on a remote server, which was installed
from the standalone tarball or OSX app, and so does not have
git-annex in PATH (and may also not have git or rsync in PATH).
* standalone tarball, OSX app: Install a ~/.ssh/git-annex-wrapper, which
can be used to run git-annex, git, rsync, etc.
Complicated by such repositories potentially being repos that should have
an annex.uuid, but it failed to be gotten, perhaps due to the past ssh repo
setup bugs. This is handled now by an Upgrade Repository button.
I am not happy about disabling yesod's XSRF tokens, but the webapp has two
guards of its own that should suffice: Listening only to localhost
(normally) and requiring its own auth token on every single request
(always).
However, this is not working for gcrypt repos with a mangled hostname.
Problem is that the locked down key is installed before the repo is
initialized, so git-annex-shell refuses to allow the gcrypt special remote
to do its setup.
