external: Monitor file size when getting content from external special
remotes and use that to update the progress meter, in case the external
special remote program does not report progress.
This relies on 703a70cafa to prevent ever
running the meter backwards.

Improve annex.stalldetection to handle remotes that update progress less
frequently than the configured time period.
In particular, this makes remotes that don't report progress but are
chunked work when transferring a single chunk takes longer than the
specified time period.
Any remotes that just have very low update granulatity would also be
handled by this.
The change to Remote.Helper.Chunked avoids an extra progress update when
resuming an interrupted upload. In that case, the code saw first Nothing
and then Just the already transferred number of bytes, which defeated this
new heuristic. This change will mean that, when resuming an interrupted
upload to a chunked remote that does not do its own progress reporting, the
progress display does not start out displaying the amount sent so far,
until after the first chunk is sent. This behavior change does not seem
like a major problem.
About the scalefudgefactor, it seems reasonable to expect subsequent chunks
to take no more than 1.5 times as long as the first chunk to transfer.
Could set it to 1, but then any chunk taking a little longer would be
treated as a stall. 2 also seems a likely value. Even 10 might be fine?

Fix a crash opening sqlite databases when run in a non-unicode locale,
with a remote that uses a non-unicode filepath. In that situation
converting to Text fails.
The fix needs git-annex to be built with persistent-sqlite 2.13.3.
Building against older versions still works, but that version is used when
building with stack.
Database.RawFilePath is a lot of code copied from persistent-sqlite and
lightly modified, since only 1 function in persistent-sqlite was made to
support RawFilePath. This is a bit of a pain, and I hope that
persistent-sqlite will eventually switch to using OsPath, allowing this
module to be removed from git-annex.

Avoid a problem with temp file names ending in "." on certian filesystems
that have problems with such filenames.
relatedTemplate is quite an ugly hack really; since it doesn't know the max
filename length of the filesystem it can only assume that the filename is
max allowed length. When given the input "lh.aparc.DKTatlas.annot", it
wants to reserve 20 characters for tempfile so it truncates to "lh.". That
ending period is apparently a problem on some filesystem (FAT eats it, but
does not throw EINVAL; ntfs does not seem bothered by it, I don't know what
FUSE filesystem the bug reporter was really using).
