At this point I've checked all AnnexState values and these were all that
remained that could move.
Pity that Annex.repo can't move, but it gets modified sometimes..
A couple of AnnexState values are set by options and could be AnnexRead,
but happen to use Annex when being set.

setEnv is not thread safe and could cause a getEnv by another thread to
segfault, or perhaps other had behavior. This is particularly a problem
when using tasty, because tasty runs the test in a thread, and a getEnv
in another thread.
The use of top-level TMVars is ugly, but ok because only 1 test actually
runs at a time per process. Because it has to chdir into the test repo.
The setEnv that remains happens before tasty is running.

The purpose of this is to fix situations where the annex object file is
stored in a directory structure other than where annex symlinks point to.
But it will also move object files from the hashdirmixed back to
hashdirlower if the repo configuration makes that the normal location.
It would have been more work to avoid that than to let it do it.

If the content directory does not exist, then it does not make sense to
lock the content file, as it also does not exist, and so it's ok for the
lock operation to fail.
This avoids potential races where the content file exists but is then
deleted/renamed, while another process sees that it exists and goes to
lock it, resulting in a dangling lock file in an otherwise empty object
directory.
Also renamed modifyContent to modifyContentDir since it is not only
necessarily used for modifying content files, but also other files in
the content directory.

Added support for "megabit" and related bandwidth units in
annex.stalldetection and everywhere else that git-annex parses data units.
Note that the short form is "Mbit" not "Mb" because that differs from "MB"
only in case, and git-annex parses units case-insensitively. It would be
horrible if two different versions of git-annex parsed the same value
differently, so I don't think "Mb" can be supported.

Tagging todos that seem to have a plan ready as confirmed.
Also closed some old ones for various reasons. Including several that
turn out to be addressed by newer features.
Also opened a new todo about git-annex-config needing a criteria to add
new configs to it.
Default to the number of CPU cores, which seems about optimal
on my laptop. Using one more saves me 2 seconds actually.
Better packing of workers improves speed significantly.
In 2 tests runs, I saw segfaulting workers despite my attempt
to work around that issue. So detect when a worker does, and re-run it.
Removed installSignalHandlers again, because I was seeing an
error "lost signal due to full pipe", which I guess was somehow caused
by using it.

Note the very weird workaround for what appears to be some kind of tasty
bug, which causes a segfault. This is not new to this modification,
I was seeing a segfault before at least intermittently when limiting
git-annex test -p to only run a single test group.
Also, the path from one test repo to a remote test repo used to be
"../../foo", which somehow broke when moving the test repos from .t to
.t/N. I don't actually quite understand how it used to work, but
"../foo" seems correct and works in the new situation.
Test output from the concurrent processes is not yet serialized.
Should be easy to do using concurrent-output.
More test groups will probably make the speedup larger. It would
probably be best to have a larger number of test groups and divvy them
amoung subprocesses numbered based on the number of CPU cores, perhaps
times 2 or 3.

Avoid git-annex test being very slow when run from within the standalone
linux tarball or OSX app.
It may not really be necessary to add to PATH the directory where the
git-annex binary resides, but it can't hurt. Most places where the test
suite or git-annex run git-annex, they use programPath, so won't need
a modified PATH. But I'm not sure if that's always the case.

File matching options like --include will be rejected in situations where
there is no filename to match against. (Or where there is a filename but
it's not relative to the cwd, or otherwise seemed too bothersome to match
against.)
The addition of listKeys' was necessary to avoid using more memory in the
common case of "git-annex info". Adding a filterM would have caused the
list to buffer in memory and not stream. This is an ugly hack, but listKeys
had previously run Annex operations inside unafeInterleaveIO (for direct
mode). And matching against a matcher should hopefully not change any Annex
state.
This does allow for eg `git-annex info somefile --include=*.ext`
although why someone would want to do that I don't really know. But it
seems to make sense to allow it.
But, consider: `git-annex info ./somefile --include=somefile`
This does not match, so will not display info about somefile.
If the user really wants to, they can `--include=./somefile`.
Using matching options like --copies or --in=remote seems likely to be
slower than git-annex find with those options, because unlike such
commands, info does not have optimised streaming through the matcher.
Note that `git-annex info remote` is not the same as
`git-annex info --in remote`. The former shows info about all files in
the remote. The latter shows local keys that are also in that remote.
The output should make that clear, but this still seems like a point
where users could get confused.

Implemented by making Git.Queue have a FlushAction, which can accumulate
along with another action on files, and runs only once the other action has
run.
This lets git-annex unlock queue up git update-index actions, without
conflicting with the restagePointerFiles FlushActions.
In a repository with filter-process enabled, git-annex unlock will
often not take any more time than before, though it may when the files are
large. Either way, it should always slow down less than git-annex status
speeds up.
When filter-process is not enabled, git-annex unlock will slow down as much
as git status speeds up.

This avoids a later git status or similar taking a long time to run
as it runs git-annex smudge once per file. While v9 repositories do
avoid that taking long when the files are small, large files can still
make git status take a very long time.
This does make unlock slower, because now git-annex smudge is being run
once per file unlocked. However, the next commit should speed that up in
many cases.

* registerurl, unregisterurl: Improved output when reading from stdin
to be more like other batch commands.
* registerurl, unregisterurl: Added --json and --json-error-messages options.
Note that this did change the --batch output in a way that could possibly
break something that expected the old output to never change. I think it's
acceptable to break that because there has never been a guarantee of
unchanging output format except with --batch for most commands. The old
output was just really weird too!
One possible wart is that "git-annex registerurl" with no options now
seems to just hang, since it's waiting for stdin input. Before, it said
"registerurl (stdin)" which was clearer about what's happenening. But this
is a deprecated mode anyway, --batch makes clear what's happening. If
anything, this problem would be a reason to eventually remove the support
for reading from stdin w/o --batch.

This has tradeoffs, but is generally a win, and users who it causes git add to
slow down unacceptably for can just disable it again.
It needed to happen in an upgrade, since there are git-annex versions
that do not support it, and using such an old version with a v8
repository with filter.annex.process set will cause bad behavior.
By enabling it in v9, it's guaranteed that any git-annex version that
can use the repository does support it. Although, this is not a perfect
protection against problems, since an old git-annex version, if it's
used with a v9 repository, will cause git add to try to run
git-annex filter-process, which will fail. But at least, the user is
unlikely to have an old git-annex in path if they are using a v9
repository, since it won't work in that repository.

Based on my earlier benchmark, I have a rough cost model for how
expensive it is for git-annex smudge to be run on a file, vs
how expensive it is for a gigabyte of a file's content to be read and
piped through to filter-process.
So, using that cost model, it can decide if using filter-process will
be more or less expensive than running the smudge filter on the files to
be restaged.
It turned out to be *really* annoying to temporarily disable
filter-process. I did find a way, but urk, this is horrible. Notice
that, if it's interrupted with it disabled, it will remain disabled
until the next time restagePointerFile runs. Which could be some time
later. If the user runs `git add` or `git checkout` on a lot of small
files before that, they will see slower than expected performance.
(This commit also deletes where I wrote down the benchmark results
earlier.)

This opens the potential for the object file to be in place but
git-annex is interrupted before it can freeze it. git-annex fsck already
fixes that situation, which can also occur when lockContentForRemoval
thaws content.
Also improve comment to not be Windows-specific.
This negotiation is not supported by versions of git-annex older
than 6.20180312. Well, maybe really 6.20180227 or so, but using that in
the changelog simplifies things since it was the version for the other
changes as well.
See commit c81768d425 for the back story.
As well as allowing for future protocol improvements, this will result
in negoatiating protocol version 1, which is an improvement over default
version 0.
In fact, it looks like no supported version of git-annex will use
protocol version 0, since version 1 was introduced in 6.20180227.
Still, removing the code for version 0 seems unncessary.
See commit 31e1adc005.

* Removed support for accessing git remotes that use versions of
git-annex older than 6.20180312.
* git-annex-shell: Removed several commands that were only needed to
support git-annex versions older than 6.20180312.
(lockcontent, recvkey, sendkey, transferinfo, commit)
The P2P protocol was added in that version, and used ever since, so
this code was only needed for interop with older versions.
"git-annex-shell commit" is used by newer git-annex versions, though
unnecessarily so, because the p2pstdio command makes a single commit at
shutdown. Luckily, it was run with stderr and stdout sent to /dev/null,
and non-zero exit status or other exceptions are caught and ignored. So,
that was able to be removed from git-annex-shell too.
git-annex-shell inannex, recvkey, sendkey, and dropkey are still used by
gcrypt special remotes accessed over ssh, so those had to be kept.
It would probably be possible to convert that to using the P2P protocol,
but it would be another multi-year transition.
Some git-annex-shell fields were able to be removed. I hoped to remove
all of them, and the very concept of them, but unfortunately autoinit
is used by git-annex sync, and gcrypt uses remoteuuid.
The main win here is really in Remote.Git, removing piles of hairy fallback
code.

Commit 4bf7940d6b introduced this
problem, but was otherwise doing a good thing. Problem being
that fileRef "/foo" used to return ":./foo", which was actually wrong,
but as long as there was no foo in the local repository, catKey
could operate on it without crashing. After that fix though, fileRef
would return eg "../../foo", resulting in fileRef returning
":./../../foo", which will make git cat-file crash since that's
not a valid path in the repo.
Fix is simply to make fileRef detect paths outside the repo and return
Nothing. Then catKey can be skipped. This needed several bugfixes to
dirContains as well, in previous commits.
In Command.Smudge, this led to needing to check for Nothing. That case
should actually never happen, because the fileoutsiderepo check will
detect it earlier.

I first saw this getting with -J2 over ssh, but later saw it also
without the -J2. It was resuming, and the calulated unboundDelay was
many minutes. The first update of the meter jumped to some large value,
because of the resuming, and so it thought the BW was super fast.
Avoid by waiting until the second meter update.
Might be a good idea to also guard for the delay being many seconds
and avoid waiting. But how many? If BW is legitimately super fast, and a
remote happens to read more than a 32kb or so chunk at a time, it could
in theory download megabytes or gigabytes of data before the first meter
update. It would actually be appropriate then to delay for a long time,
if the desired BW was low. Could make up some numbers that are sane now,
but tech may improve.
(BTW, pleased to see bwlimit does work with -J. I had worried that
it might not, if the meter update happened in a different thread than
the downloading, but it's done in the same thread.)

* When downloading urls fail, explain which urls failed for which
reasons.
* web: Avoid displaying a warning when downloading one url failed
but another url later succeeded.
Some other uses of downloadUrl use urls that are effectively internal use,
and should not all be displayed to the user on failure. Eg, Remote.Git
tries different urls where content could be located depending on how the
remote repo is set up. Exposing those urls to the user would lead to wild
goose chases. So had to parameterize it to control whether it displays urls
or not.
A side effect of this change is that when there are some youtube urls
and some regular urls, it will try regular urls first, even if the
youtube urls are listed first. This seems like an improvement if
anything, but in any case there's no defined order of urls that it's
supposed to use.

Except when configuration makes curl be used. It did not seem worth
trying to tail the file when curl is downloading.
But when an interrupted download is resumed, it does not read the whole
existing file to hash it. Same reason discussed in
commit 7eb3742e4b76d1d7a487c2c53bf25cda4ee5df43; that could take a long
time with no progress being displayed. And also there's an open http
request, which needs to be consumed; taking a long time to hash the file
might cause it to time out.
Also in passing implemented it for git and external special remotes when
downloading from the web. Several others like S3 are within striking
distance now as well.

Added fileRetriever', which will let the remaining special remotes
eventually also support incremental verify.
Sponsored-by: Dartmouth College's DANDI project
Simply feed each chunk in turn to the incremental verifier.
When resuming an interrupted retrieve, it does not do incremental
verification. That would need to read the file, up to the resume point,
and feed it to the incremental verifier. That seems easy to get wrong.
Also it would mean extra work done before the transfer can start. Which
would complicate displaying progress, and would perhaps not appear to the
user as if it was resuming from where it left off. Instead, in that
situation, return UnVerified, and let the verification be done in a
separate pass.
Granted, Annex.CopyFile does manage all that, but it's not complicated
by dealing with chunks too.

I'm now reasonably sure I've identified both cases where this can
