The new yesod needs the ViewPatterns extension.
Also, a TH splice in Assistant/Threads/WebApp.hs failed to work without
OverLoadedStrings.

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.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
This version of wai changed the type of Middleware, so I cannot seem
to liftIO inside it. So, got rid of a lot of not really needed
complexity to use System.Log.Logger's logging stuff, and just use
the standard wai stdout logger when debug logging is enabled.
Format may change some, and it logs http to stdout instead of stderr
now. Doesn't matter for the webapp since both go to the same log anyway.
Make sanity checker run git annex unused daily, and queue up transfers
of unused files to any remotes that will have them. The transfer retrying
code works for us here, so eg when a backup disk remote is plugged in,
any transfers to it are done. Once the unused files reach a remote,
they'll be removed locally as unwanted.
If the setup does not cause unused files to go to a remote, they'll pile
up, and the sanity checker detects this using some heuristics that are
pretty good -- 1000 unused files, or 10% of disk used by unused files,
or more disk wasted by unused files than is left free. Once it detects
this, it pops up an alert in the webapp, with a button to take action.
TODO: Webapp UI to configure this, and also the ability to launch an
immediate cleanup of all unused files.

The webapp will check twice a day, when the network is connected, to see if
it can download a distributon upgrade file. If a newer version is found,
display an upgrade alert.
This will need the autobuilders to set UPGRADE_LOCATION to the url
it can be downloaded from when building git-annex. Only builds with that
set need automatic upgrade alerts.
Currently, the upgrade page just requests the user manually download
and upgrade it. But, all the info is provided to do automated upgrades
in the future.
Note that urls used will need to all be https.

Extends the index.lock handling to other git lock files. I surveyed
all lock files used by git, and found more than I expected. All are
handled the same in git; it leaves them open while doing the operation,
possibly writing the new file content to the lock file, and then closes
them when done.
The gc.pid file is excluded because it won't affect the normal operation
of the assistant, and waiting for a gc to finish on startup wouldn't be
good.
All threads except the webapp thread wait on the new startup sanity checker
thread to complete, so they won't try to do things with git that fail
due to stale lock files. The webapp thread mostly avoids doing that kind of
thing itself. A few configurators might fail on lock files, but only if the
user is explicitly trying to run them. The webapp needs to start
immediately when the user has opened it, even if there are stale lock
files.
Arranging for the threads to wait on the startup sanity checker was a bit
of a bear. Have to get all the NotificationHandles set up before the
startup sanity checker runs, or they won't see its signal. Perhaps
the NotificationBroadcaster is not the best interface to have used for
this. Oh well, it works.

Incidentially should work around the last problem that prevented the webapp
building on Android. (Except for a few places I need to clean up after
hand-fixing the spliced TH code.)
since some systems may have configuration problems or other issues that
prevent web browsers from connecting to the right localhost IP for the
webapp.
Tested on both ipv4 and ipv6 localhost. Url for the latter looks like:
http://[::1]:50676
Would like to also have restart UI, but that's rather harder to do,
seems it'd need to start another copy of the webapp, and redirect the
browser to its new url, but running two assistants in the same repo at
the same time isn't good.
Converted several threads to run in the monad.
Added a lot of useful combinators for working with the monad.
Now the monad includes the name of the thread.
Some debugging messages are disabled pending converting other threads.
I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
Currently relies on SRV being set, or the JID's hostname being the server
hostname and the port being default. Future work: Allow manual
configuration of user name, hostname, and port.
They work fine. But I had to go to a lot of trouble to get Yesod to render
routes in a pure function. It may instead make more sense to have each
alert have an assocated IO action, and a single route that runs the IO
action of a given alert id. I just wish I'd realized that before the past
several hours of struggling with something Yesod really doesn't want to
allow.
