This eliminates the distinction between decodeBS and decodeBS', encodeBS
and encodeBS', etc. The old implementation truncated at NUL, and the
primed versions had to do extra work to avoid that problem. The new
implementation does not truncate at NUL, and is also a lot faster.
(Benchmarked at 2x faster for decodeBS and 3x for encodeBS; more for the
primed versions.)
Note that filepath-bytestring 1.4.2.1.8 contains the same optimisation,
and upgrading to it will speed up to/fromRawFilePath.
AFAIK, nothing relied on the old behavior of truncating at NUL. Some
code used the faster versions in places where I was sure there would not
be a NUL. So this change is unlikely to break anything.
Also, moved s2w8 and w82s out of the module, as they do not involve
filesystem encoding really.

Since the sqlite branch uses blobs extensively, there are some
performance benefits, ByteStrings now get stored and retrieved w/o
conversion in some cases like in Database.Export.
This is a non-backwards compatable change, so not suitable for merging
w/o a annex.version bump and transition code. Not yet tested.
This improves performance of git-annex benchmark --databases
across the board by 10-25%, since eg Key roundtrips as a ByteString.
(serializeKey' produces a lazy ByteString, so there is still a
copy involved in converting it to a strict ByteString. It may be faster
to switch to using bytestring-strict-builder.)
FilePath and Key are both stored as blobs. This avoids mojibake in some
situations. It would be possible to use varchar instead, if persistent
could avoid converting that to Text, but it seems there is no good
way to do so. See doc/todo/sqlite_database_improvements.mdwn
Eliminated some ugly artifacts of using Read/Show serialization;
constructors and quoted strings are no longer stored in sqlite.
Renamed SRef to SSha to reflect that it is only ever a git sha,
not a ref name. Since it is limited to the characters in a sha,
it is not affected by mojibake, so still uses String.
Rescued from commit 11d6e2e260 which removed
db benchmarks in favor of benchmarking arbitrary git-annex commands. Which
is nice and general, but microbenchmarks are useful too.
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.)
Does not yet have a way to update with new information from the
git-annex branch, which will be needed when multiple repos are importing
from the same remote.
What these generate is not really suitable to be used as a filename,
which is why keyFile and fileKey further escape it. These are just
serializing Keys.
Also removed a quickcheck test that was very unlikely to test anything
useful, since it relied on random chance creating something that looks
like a serialized key. The other test is sufficient for testing what
that was intended to test anyway.
New table needed to look up what filenames are used in the currently
exported tree, for reasons explained in export.mdwn.
Also, added smart constructors for ExportLocation and ExportDirectory to
make sure they contain filepaths with the right direction slashes.
And some code refactoring.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

This is a mostly backwards compatable change. I broke backwards
compatability in the case where a filename starts with double-quote.
That seems likely to be very rare, and v6 unlocked files are a new feature
anyway, and fsck needs to fix missing associated file mappings anyway. So,
I decided that is good enough.
The encoding used is to just show the String when it contains a problem
character. While that adds some overhead to addAssociatedFile and
removeAssociatedFile, those are not called very often. This approach has
minimal decode overhead, because most filenames won't be encoded that way,
and it only has to look for the leading double-quote to skip the expensive
read. So, getAssociatedFiles remains fast.
I did consider using ByteString instead, but getting a FilePath converted
with all chars intact, even surrigates, is difficult, and it looks like
instance PersistField ByteString uses Text, which I don't trust for problem
encoded data. It would probably be slower too, and it would make the
database less easy to inspect manually.
Renamed the db to keys, since it is various info about a Keys.
Dropping a key will update its pointer files, as long as their content can
be verified to be unmodified. This falls back to checksum verification, but
I want it to use an InodeCache of the key, for speed. But, I have not made
anything populate that cache yet.
Did not keep backwards compat for sticky bit records. An incremental fsck
that is already in progress will start over on upgrade to this version.
This is not yet ready for merging. The autobuilders need to have sqlite
installed.
Also, interrupting a fsck --incremental does not commit the database.
So, resuming with fsck --more restarts from beginning.
Memory: Constant during a fsck of tens of thousands of files.
(But, it does seem to buffer whole transation in memory, so
may really scale with number of files.)
