I am not happy that I had to put backend-specific code in file2key. But
it would be very difficult to avoid this layering violation.
Most of the time, when parsing a Key from a symlink target, git-annex
never looks up its Backend at all, so adding this check to a method of
the Backend object would not work.
The Key could be made to contain the appropriate
Backend, but since Backend is parameterized on an "a" that is fixed to
the Annex monad later, that would need Key to change to "Key a".
The only way to clean this up that I can see would be to have the Key
contain a LowlevelBackend, and put the validation in LowlevelBackend.
Perhaps later, but that would be an extensive change, so let's not do
it in this commit which may want to cherry-pick to backports.

* Run curl with -S, so HTTP errors are displayed, even when
it's otherwise silent.
* When downloading in --json or --quiet mode, use curl in preference
to wget, since curl is able to display only errors to stderr, unlike
wget.
This does mean that downloadQuiet is only silent on stdout, not necessarily
on stderr, which affects a couple other calls of it. For example,
downloading the .git/config of a http remote may show an error message now,
perhaps with slightly suboptimal formatting due to other output.
This adds one extra line of output when a download is successful,
after the progress bar. I don't much like that, but wget does not provide a
way to show HTTP errors without it.
I've seen this thing, whatever it is, mentioned in spam links before,
so even if it's valid for some OS (probably not the one being asked
about), it's verboten here.

displaying extraneous messages about repository auto-init, git-annex branch
merging, etc, when being used to get information.
By displaying error messages from the remote then it fails to update
its checked out branch.
Error messages in the default receive.denyCurrentBranch are still
suppressed, which matches user expectations.

This is the same as running git annex reinject --known, followed by
git-annex import. The advantage to having it in one command is that it
only has to hash each file once; the two commands have to
hash the imported files a second time.

... to control the default behavior in all clones of a repository.
This includes a new Configurable data type, so the GitConfig type indicates
which values can be configured this way.
The implementation should be quite efficient; the config log is only read
once, and only when a Configurable value has not already been set by
git-config.
Indeed, it would be nice in the future to extend this, so that git-config
is itself only read on demand. Some commands may not need to look at the
git configuration at all.

Argh, didn't need an accumulator here!
I think I use accumulators a lot more than I need to when recusively
processing lists..

A commit last year that made a partial function use Maybe unfortunately
caused the whole input to need to be consumed, breaking streaming. So,
revert it.
