Fix behavior when importing a tree from a directory remote when the
directory does not exist. An empty tree was imported, rather than the
import failing. Merging that tree would delete every file in the
branch, if those files had been exported to the directory before.
The problem was that dirContentsRecursive returned [] when the directory
did not exist. Better for it to throw an exception. But in commit
74f0d67aa3 back in 2012, I made it never
theow exceptions, because exceptions throw inside unsafeInterleaveIO become
untrappable when the list is being traversed.
So, changed it to list the contents of the directory before entering
unsafeInterleaveIO. So exceptions are thrown for the directory. But still
not if it's unable to list the contents of a subdirectory. That's less of a
problem, because the subdirectory does exist (or if not, it got removed
after being listed, and it's ok to not include it in the list). A
subdirectory that has permissions that don't allow listing it will have its
contents omitted from the list still.
(Might be better to have it return a type that includes indications of
errors listing contents of subdirectories?)
The rest of the changes are making callers of dirContentsRecursive
use emptyWhenDoesNotExist when they relied on the behavior of it not
throwing an exception when the directory does not exist. Note that
it's possible some callers of dirContentsRecursive that used to ignore
permissions problems listing a directory will now start throwing exceptions
on them.
The fix to the directory special remote consisted of not making its
call in listImportableContentsM use emptyWhenDoesNotExist. So it will
throw an exception as desired.

Works around this bug in unix-compat:
https://github.com/jacobstanley/unix-compat/issues/56
getFileStatus and other FilePath using functions in unix-compat do not do
UNC conversion on Windows.
Made Utility.RawFilePath use convertToWindowsNativeNamespace to do the
necessary conversion on windows to support long filenames.
Audited all imports of System.PosixCompat.Files to make sure that no
functions that operate on FilePath were imported from it. Instead, use
the equvilants from Utility.RawFilePath. In particular the
re-export of that module in Common had to be removed, which led to lots
of other changes throughout the code.
The changes to Build.Configure, Build.DesktopFile, and Build.TestConfig
make Utility.Directory not be needed to build setup. And so let it use
Utility.RawFilePath, which depends on unix, which cannot be in
setup-depends.

Eliminated some dead code. In other cases, exported a currently unused
function, since it was a logical part of the API.
Of course this improves the API documentation. It may also sometimes
let ghc optimize code better, since it can know a function is internal
to a module.
364 modules still to go, according to
git grep -E 'module [A-Za-z.]+ where'
Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4, and with older
versions of serveral haskell libraries than will be included in Debian 10.
The only remaining version ifdefs in the entire code base are now a couple
for aws!
This commit should only be merged after the Debian 10 release.
And perhaps it will need to wait longer than that; it would make
backporting new versions of git-annex to Debian 9 (stretch) which
has been actively happening as recently as this year.

Untested, on FreeBSD but enough to fix the listed build errors.
Seems that System.Posix.Files must have used to export this stuff and it
was split.

Switch to Data.Map.Strict everywhere that used it.
There are still lots of lazy maps in git-annex. I think switching these
is safe. The risk is that there might be a map that is used in a way
that relies on the values not being evaluated to WHNF, and switching to
strict might result in bad performance or memory use. So, I have not
switched everything.
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.
