cache credentials in memory when doing http basic auth to a git remote
When accessing a git remote over http needs a git credential prompt for a
password, cache it for the lifetime of the git-annex process, rather than
repeatedly prompting.

The git-lfs special remote already caches the credential when discovering
the endpoint. And presumably commands like git pull do as well, since they
may download multiple urls from a remote.

The TMVar CredentialCache is read, so two concurrent calls to
getBasicAuthFromCredential will both prompt for a credential.
There would already be two concurrent password prompts in such a case,
and existing uses of `prompt` probably avoid it. Anyway, it's no worse
than before.

started converting Ref from String to ByteString
This should make code that reads shas and refs from git faster.

Does not compile yet, a lot needs to be done still.

support git remotes that need http basic auth
using git credential to get the password

One thing this doesn't do is wrap the password prompting inside the prompt
action. So with -J, the output can be a bit garbled.
