New command, currently limited to changing autoenable= setting of a special remote.
It will probably never be used for more than that given the limitations on
it.

When displaying a ByteString like "💕", safeOutput operates on
individual bytes like "\240\159\146\149" and isControl '\146' = True,
so it got truncated to just "\240".
So, only treat the low control characters, and DEL, as control
characters.
Also split Utility.Terminal out of Utility.SafeOutput. The latter needs
win32, but Utility.SafeOutput is used by Control.Exception, which is
used by Setup.

giveup changed to filter out control characters. (It is too low level to
make it use StringContainingQuotedPath.)
error still does not, but it should only be used for internal errors,
where the message is not attacker-controlled.
Changed a lot of existing error to giveup when it is not strictly an
internal error.
Of course, other exceptions can still be thrown, either by code in
git-annex, or a library, that include some attacker-controlled value.
This does not guard against those.

git-annex.cabal: Move webapp build deps under the Assistant build flag so
git-annex can be built again without yesod etc installed.
Commit 78440ca37d got rid of the webapp build
flag to work around what was apparently a cabal bug. It moved the webapp
build deps to the main build-depends list. But that prevents building
git-annex when yesod etc are not installed.
Putting them under the Assistant build flag seems to not tickle that cabal
bug, and lets git-annex build automatically with the assistant disabled
when the webapp build deps are not installed.
I hypotehesize that the problem may have involved build-depends nested
behind two build flags. Also, cabal clean may need to be run in order
for cabal to find the right solution after this change, when building in
a directory where cabal configure had been run before.
Also moved 3 modules that are needed to build git-annex w/o the assistant
out from under the Assistant build flag.

Use separate stages for download and upload. In the common case where
it downloads the file from one remote and then uploads to the other,
those are by far the most expensive operations, and there's a decent
chance the two remotes bottleneck on different resources.
Suppose it's being run with -J2 and a bunch of 10 mb files. Two threads
will be started both downloading from the src remote. They will probably
finish at the same time. Then two threads will be started uploading to
the dst remote. They will probably take the same time as well. Before
this change, it would alternate back and forth, bottlenecking on src and dst.
With this change, as soon as the two threads start uploading to dst, two
more threads are able to start, downloading from src. So bandwidth to
both remotes is saturated more often.
Other commands that use transferStages only send in one direction at a
time. So the worker threads for the other direction will sit idle, and
there will be no change in their behavior.

I've long been asked for `git-annex find --all` or something like that,
but pushed back on it because I feel that the command is analagous to
find(1) and so it would be surprising for it to list keys rather than
files. So instead, add a new findkeys subcommand.
Note that the use of withKeyOptions is rather strange because usually
that is used to fall back to --all rather than listing files, but here
it's made to default to --all like behavior and never list files.
A performance thing that could be improved is that withKeyOptions
always reads and caches location logs. But findkeys with no options does
not need them, so it could be made faster. That caching does speed up
options like --in though. This is really just a subset of a more general
performance thing that --all reads location logs sometimes unncessarily.
Anyway, it needs to read the location log in order to checkDead,
and it seems good that findkeys does skip dead keys.
Also, cleaned up comments on git-annex-find man page asking for --all
option.

AFAICS all git-annex builds are using the git-lfs library not the vendored
copy.
Debian stable does have a too old haskell-git-lfs package to be able to
build git-annex from source, but there is not currently a backport of a
recent git-annex to Debian stable. And if they update the backport at some
point, they should be able to backport the library too.

When running eg git-annex get, for each file it has to read from and
write to the keys database. But it's reading exclusively from one table,
and writing to a different table. So, it is not necessary to flush the
write to the database before reading. This avoids writing the database
once per file, instead it will buffer 1000 changes before writing.
Benchmarking getting 1000 small files from a local origin,
git-annex get now takes 13.62s, down from 22.41s!
git-annex drop now takes 9.07s, down from 18.63s!
Wowowowowowowow!
(It would perhaps have been better if there were separate databases for
the two tables. At least it would have avoided this complexity. Ah well,
this is better than splitting the table in a annex.version upgrade.)

Well, actually, fix a typo that has always been in the implementation of
that. "inbacked" used to work, but let's not tell users about that; they
might try to use it and expect git-annex to keep supporting the typo..

I noticed that, using just the man pages, there is no real description
of what backends are, or what ones are available. Except for some
examples.
Added a git-annex-backends man page, that is just a stub, but at least
describes what they basically are, and tells how to find the supported
ons, and links to the backends web page.

When pointer files need to be restaged, they're first written to the
log, and then when the restage operation runs, it reads the log. This
way, if the git-annex process is interrupted before it can do the
restaging, a later git-annex process can do it.
Currently, this lets a git-annex get/drop command be interrupted and
then re-ran, and as long as it gets/drops additional files, it will
clean up after the interrupted command. But more changes are
needed to make it easier to restage after an interrupted process.
Kept using the git queue to run the restage action, even though the
list of files that it builds up for that action is not actually used by
the action. This could perhaps be simplified to make restaging a cleanup
action that gets registered, rather than using the git queue for it. But
I wasn't sure if that would cause visible behavior changes, when eg
dropping a large number of files, currently the git queue flushes
periodically, and so it restages incrementally, rather than all at the
end.
In restagePointerFiles, it reads the restage log twice, once to get
the number of files and size, and a second time to process it.
This seemed better than reading the whole file into memory, since
potentially a huge number of files could be in there. Probably the OS
will cache the file in memory and there will not be much performance
impact. It might be better to keep running tallies in another file
though. But updating that atomically with the log seems hard.
Also note that it's possible for calcRestageLog to see a different file
than streamRestageLog does. More files may be added to the log in
between. That is ok, it will only cause the filterprocessfaster heuristic to
operate with slightly out of date information, so it may make the wrong
choice for the files that got added and be a little slower than ideal.

For some reason, cabal 3.4.1.0 builds w/o the assistant and webapp,
even when the flag is explicitly turned on. Moving the build-depends from
inside the if flag section to the main build-depends somehow fixes this.
Since the webapp build deps are thus always available, there is no reason
not to build the webapp when building the assistant. So, got rid of the
webapp build flag. Kept the assistant build flag for now, since building
without it does at least still speed up the build.

--backend is no longer a global option, and is only accepted by commands
that actually need it.
Three commands that used to support backend but don't any longer are
watch, webapp, and assistant. It would be possible to make them support it,
but I doubt anyone used the option with these. And in the case of webapp
and assistant, the option was handled inconsistently, only taking affect
when the command is run with an existing git-annex repo, not when it
creates a new one.
Also, renamed GlobalOption etc to AnnexOption. Because there are many
options of this type that are not actually global (any more) and get
added to commands that need them.

based on doc/bugs/FreeBSD_patches.mdwn which indicates it works, though
sadly without anything more than a patch.
If this breaks anything it will be reverted.
Removed vendored copy of http-client-restricted, and removed the
HttpClientRestricted build flag that avoided that dependency.
http-client-restricted is in Debian stable, and the i386ancient build also
uses it, so I think this vendored copy is no longer needed.

The new ansi-terminal was needed for test concurrency, and the new
concurrent-output fixes several bugs. And it turns out this is all
that's needed to use the new tasty.
Sponsored-by: Kevin Mueller on Patreon
Dependency issues were looking difficult to support tasty-1.2 with that
build. Not using `after` only affects rerunning and limiting tests,
since tasty's concurrency is not used, so this build will just not
support that.
We are probably nearing end of life on this build; it also doesn't
support git-lfs or http-client-restricted. The 2.6.32 kernel it supports
is at this point 13 years old, and stopped being supported by linux LTS
developers 10 years ago. It was supported by RHEL 6.10 through November
2020. At this point, no new hardware should be shipping with this
kernel, but that probably does not stop certian embedded vendors from
shipping it. And there is certainly some hardware still using it. But
the returns from supporting it are diminishing, and the quality of the
build for it is also diminishing.
