Added annex.retry, annex.retry-delay, and per-remote versions to configure
transfer retries.

* When annex objects are received into git repositories, their checksums are
verified then too.
* To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set
annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false.
* setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file
matches the key, unless annex.verify=false.
* reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by
setting annex.verify=false.
recvkey and reinject already did verification, so removed now duplicate
code from them. fsck still does its own verification, which is ok since it
does not use getViaTmp, so verification doesn't happen twice when using fsck
--from.
This is a work in progress. It compiles and is able to do basic command
dispatch, including git autocorrection, while using optparse-applicative
for the core commandline parsing.
* Many commands are temporarily disabled before conversion.
* Options are not wired in yet.
* cmdnorepo actions don't work yet.
Also, removed the [Command] list, which was only used in one place.
Only the assistant uses these, and only the assistant cleans them up, so
make only git annex transferkeys write them,
There is one behavior change from this. If glacier is being used, and a
manual git annex get --from glacier fails because the file isn't available
yet, the assistant will no longer later see that failed transfer file and
retry the get. Hope no-one depended on that old behavior.
Motivation: Hook scripts for nautilus or other file managers
need to provide the user with feedback that a file is being downloaded.

I've been disliking how the command seek actions were written for some
time, with their inversion of control and ugly workarounds.
The last straw to fix it was sync --content, which didn't fit the
Annex [CommandStart] interface well at all. I have not yet made it take
advantage of the changed interface though.
The crucial change, and probably why I didn't do it this way from the
beginning, is to make each CommandStart action be run with exceptions
caught, and if it fails, increment a failure counter in annex state.
So I finally remove the very first code I wrote for git-annex, which
was before I had exception handling in the Annex monad, and so ran outside
that monad, passing state explicitly as it ran each CommandStart action.
This was a real slog from 1 to 5 am.
Test suite passes.
Memory usage is lower than before, sometimes by a couple of megabytes, and
remains constant, even when running in a large repo, and even when
repeatedly failing and incrementing the error counter. So no accidental
laziness space leaks.
Wall clock speed is identical, even in large repos.

This is a simple approach for setting up a mirroring repository.
It will work with any type of remotes.
Mirror --from is more expensive than mirror --to in general.
OTOH, mirror --from will get the file from any remote that has it, not only
the named mirror remote. And if the named mirror remote is not the fastest
available remote with a file, that can speed things up.
It would be possible to make the assistant or watch command do a more
dynamic mirroring, that didn't need to scan every time.
Most remotes have meters in their implementations of retrieveKeyFile
already. Simply hooking these up to the transfer log makes that information
available. Easy peasy.
This is particularly valuable information for encrypted remotes, which
otherwise bypass the assistant's polling of temp files, and so don't have
good progress bars yet.
Still some work to do here (see progressbars.mdwn changes), but this
is entirely an improvement from the lack of progress bars for encrypted
downloads.
Clean up from 9769235d6b.
In some cases, looking up a remote by name even though it has no UUID is
desirable. This includes git annex sync, which can operate on remotes
without an annex, and XMPP pairing, which runs addRemote (with calls
byName) before the UUID of the XMPP remote has been configured in git.
When a transfer fails, the progress info can be used to intelligently
retry it. If the transfer managed to make some progress, but did not
fully complete, then there's a good chance that a retry will finish it
(or at least make more progress).
Transfer info files are updated when the callback is called, updating
the number of bytes transferred.
Left unused p variables at every place the callback should be used.
Which is rather a lot..
Used by the assistant, rather than copy, this is faster because it avoids
using git ls-files, avoids checking the location log redundantly, and
runs in oneshot mode, avoiding making a commit to the git-annex branch
for every file transferred.
