This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Probably not noticed until now because the queue is large enough that two
threads each filling theirs at the same time and flushing is unlikely to
happen.
Also made explicit that each worker thread gets its own queue.
I think that was the case before, but if something was put in the queue
before worker threads were forked off, they could have each inherited the
same queue.
Could have gone with a single shared queue, but per-worker queues is more
efficient, because a worker can add lots of stuff to its own queue without
any locking.

Fix process and file descriptor leak that was exposed when git-annex was
built with ghc 8.2.1. Apparently ghc has changed its behavior of GC
of open file handles that are pipes to running processes. That
broke git-annex test on OSX due to running out of FDs.
Audited for all uses of Annex.new and made stopCoProcesses be called
once it's done with the state. Fixed several places that might have
leaked in other situations than running the test suite.
