This serves two purposes. --remote=web bypasses other special remotes that
claim the url, same as addurl --raw. And, specifying some other remote
allows making sure that an url is claimed by the remote you expect,
which makes then using setpresentkey not be fragile.

Support VERSION 2 in the external special remote protocol, which is
identical to VERSION 1, but avoids external remote programs neededing to
work around the above bug. External remote program that support
exporttree=yes are recommended to be updated to send VERSION 2.

Remote.Directory makes a temp file, then calls this, and since the temp
file exists, it prevented probing if CoW works.
Note that deleting the empty file does mean there's a small window for a
race. If another process is also exporting to the remote, that could let it
make the same temp file. However, the temp filename actually has the
processes's pid in it, which avoids that being a problem.
This may have been a reversion caused by commits around
63d508e885, but I haven't gone back and
tested to be sure. The directory special remote had supposedly supported
CoW for this going back to about half a year before that.

The temporary URL key used for the download, before the real key is
generated, was blocked by annex.securehashesonly.
Fixed by passing the Backend that will be used for the final key into
runTransfer. When a Backend is provided, have preCheckSecureHashes
check that, rather than the key being transferred.

I don't know of scenarios where that can happen (besides the bug
fixed by the parent commit), but there probably are some.

Avoid failure to update adjusted branch --unlock-present after git-annex
drop when annex.adjustedbranchrefresh=1
At higher values, it did flush the queue, which ran restagePointerFiles.
But at 1, adjustedBranchRefreshFull gets added to the queue, and while
restagePointerFiles is also in the queue, it runs after that.
