I am not happy about disabling yesod's XSRF tokens, but the webapp has two
guards of its own that should suffice: Listening only to localhost
(normally) and requiring its own auth token on every single request
(always).
However, this is not working for gcrypt repos with a mangled hostname.
Problem is that the locked down key is installed before the repo is
initialized, so git-annex-shell refuses to allow the gcrypt special remote
to do its setup.
Improved probing the remote server, so it gathers a list of the
capabilities it has. From that list, we can determine which types
of remotes are supported, and display an appropriate UI.
The new buttons for making gcrypt repos don't work yet, but the old buttons
for unencrypted git repo and encrypted rsync repo have been adapted to the
new data types and are working.
This commit was sponsored by David Schmitt.
This pulls off quite a nice trick: When given a path on rsync.net, it
determines if it is an encrypted git repository that the user has
the key to decrypt, and merges with it. This is works even when
the local repository had no idea that the gcrypt remote exists!
(As previously done with local drives.)

The ssh setup first runs ssh to the real hostname, to probe if a ssh key is
needed. If one is, it generates a mangled hostname that uses a key. This
mangled hostname was being used to ssh into the server to set up the key.
But if the server already had the key set up, and it was locked down, the
setup would fail. This changes it to use the real hostname when sshing in
to set up the key, which avoids the problem.
Note that it will redundantly set up the key on the ssh server. But it's
the same key; the ssh key generation code uses the key if it already
exists.
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
