That version has my patches for the problems that Utility.PosixFiles
was working around, so am able to get rid of that module now.
This will later allow bringing back the custom-setup stanza in the cabal
file. It will need to depend on unix-compat 0.5 on all OS's, which I'm
not ready to do yet.

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.
