git-annex fsck and some other commands that verify the content of a key
were using the non-incremental verification interface. But for VURL
urls, that interface is innefficient because when there are multiple
equivilant keys, it has to separately read and checksum for each key in
turn until one matches. It's more efficient for those to use the
incremental interface, since the file can be read a single time.
There's no real downside to using the incremental interface when available.
Note that more speedup could be had for VURL, if it was able to
calculate the checksum a single time and then compare with the
equivilant keys checksums. When the equivilant keys use the same type of
checksum.

This does, as a side effect, make long notes in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset them
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

Converted warning and similar to use StringContainingQuotedPath. Most
warnings are static strings, some do refer to filepaths that need to be
quoted, and others don't need quoting.
Note that, since quote filters out control characters of even
UnquotedString, this makes all warnings safe, even when an attacker
sneaks in a control character in some other way.
When json is being output, no quoting is done, since json gets its own
quoting.
This does, as a side effect, make warning messages in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset warning messages
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

None of the special remotes do it yet, but this lays the groundwork.
Added MustFinishIncompleteVerify so that, when an incremental verify is
started but not complete, it can be forced to finish it. Otherwise, it
would have skipped doing it when verification is disabled, but
verification must always be done when retrievin from export remotes
since files can be modified during retrieval.
Note that retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier doesn't support incremental
verification yet. And I'm not sure if it can -- it doesn't know the Key
before it downloads the content. It seems a new API call would need to
be split out of that, which is provided with the key.

IncrementalVerifier moved to Utility.Hash, which will let Utility.Url
use it later.
It's perhaps not really specific to hashing, but making a separate
module just for the data type seemed unncessary.

This fixes the recent reversion that annex.verify is not honored,
because retrieveChunks was passed RemoteVerify baser, but baser
did not have export/import set up.

As happens when using the directory special remote, gitlfs, webdav, and
S3. But not external, adb, gcrypt, hook, or rsync.

Now it's run in VerifyStage.
I thought about keeping the file handle open, and resuming reading where
tailVerify left off. But that risks leaking open file handles, until the
GC closes them, if the deferred verification does not get resumed. Since
that could perhaps happen if there's an exception somewhere, I decided
that was too unsafe.
Instead, re-open the file, seek, and resume.

Wait for the file to get modified, not only opened. This way, if a
remote does not support resuming, and opens a new file over top of the
existing file, it will wait until that remote starts writing, and open
the file it's writing to, not the old file.

I saw this:
.git/annex/tmp/SHA256E-s1234376--5ba8e06e0163b217663907482bbed57684d7188024155ddc81da0710dfd2687d: openBinaryFile: resource busy (file is locked)
guess catching IO exceptions did not catch that one.
Not yet used, but this will let all remotes verify incrementally if it's
acceptable to pay the performance price. See comment for details of when
it will perform badly. I anticipate using this for all special remotes
that use fileRetriever. Except perhaps for a few like GitLFS that could
feed the incremental verifier themselves despite using that.

This avoids it calling enteringStage VerifyStage when it's used in
places that only fall back to verification rarely, and which might be
called while in TransferStage and be going to perform a transfer after
the verification.
The goal is that Database.Keys be able to use it; it can't use
Annex.Content.Presence due to an import loop.
Several other things also needed to be moved to Annex.Verify as a
conseqence.
Checksum as content is received from a remote git-annex repository, rather
than doing it in a second pass.
Not tested at all yet, but I imagine it will work!
Not implemented for any special remotes, and also not implemented for
copies from local remotes. It may be that, for local remotes, it will
suffice to use rsync, rely on its checksumming, and simply return Verified.
(It would still make a checksumming pass when cp is used for COW, I guess.)
