9125a25738 defer SETSTATE and GETSTATE for now
TAHOE-LAFS may use these eventually, but that's TBD and none of git-annex's
own special remotes need that, except for the web special remote's urls.

a7f3724e21 implement GETCONFIG and SETCONFIG
Changed protocol spec to make SETCONFIG only store it persistently when run
during INITREMOTE. I see no reason to support storing it persistently at
other times, and doing so would unnecessarily complicate the code.

Also, letting that be done would probably result in use for storing data that
doesn't really belong there, and special remote authors who don't
understand how the union merging works would probably be surprised the
results.

3289155e28 don't send PREPARE before INITREMOTE
That complicated special remote programs, because they had to avoid making
PREPARE fail if some configuration is missing, because the remote might not
be initialized yet. Instead, complicate git-annex slightly by only sending
PREPARE immediately before some other request other than INITREMOTE (or
PREPARE of course).

1dc930063a basic data types and serialization for external special remote protocol
This is mostly straightforward, but did turn out quite nicely stronly
typed, and with a quite nice automatic tokenization and parsing of received
messages.

Made a few minor changes to the protocol to clear up ambiguities and make
it easier to parse. Note particularly that setting remote configuration
is moved to a separate command, which allows a remote to set arbitrary data.

cb6a703660 refine protocol
More complicated, but less asynchronous, which will make it easier for
special remote programs to use it, at the expense of some added complexity
in git-annex.
