Which could happen occasionally before when concurrency is enabled.
While not much of a problem when it did happen, better to avoid it. Also,
since it seems likely the gpg-agent sometimes fails in such a situation,
this makes it not happen when running a single git-annex command with
concurrency enabled.

I do think this was a reversion, but I have not tracked back to what
version. While involving the remote config, it's not the same class of
problems that I kept having to chase down for a while after the remote
config parser reworking.
Fix bug that made creds not be stored in git when a special remote was
initialized with gpg encryption, but without an explicit embedcreds=yes.
(Yet nother regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7. 5th so far.)
Needed so Remote.External can query the external program for its
configs. When the external program does not support the query,
the passthrough option will make all input fields be available.
Remote now contains a ParsedRemoteConfig. The parsing happens when the
Remote is constructed, rather than when individual configs are used.
This is more efficient, and it lets initremote/enableremote
reject configs that have unknown fields or unparsable values.
It also allows for improved type safety, as shown in
Remote.Helper.Encryptable where things that used to match on string
configs now match on data types.
This is a work in progress, it does not build yet.
The main risk in this conversion is forgetting to add a field to
RemoteConfigParser. That will prevent using that field with
initremote/enableremote, and will prevent remotes that already are set
up from seeing that configuration. So will need to check carefully that
every field that getRemoteConfigValue is called on has been added to
RemoteConfigParser.
(One such case I need to remember is that credPairRemoteField needs to be
included in the RemoteConfigParser.)
This is a first step toward that goal, using the ProposedAccepted type
in RemoteConfig lets initremote/enableremote reject bad parameters that
were passed in a remote's configuration, while avoiding enableremote
rejecting bad parameters that have already been stored in remote.log
This does not eliminate every place where a remote config is parsed and a
default value is used if the parse false. But, I did fix several
things that expected foo=yes/no and so confusingly accepted foo=true but
treated it like foo=no. There are still some fields that are parsed with
yesNo but not not checked when initializing a remote, and there are other
fields that are parsed in other ways and not checked when initializing a
remote.
This also lays groundwork for rejecting unknown/typoed config keys.
I found a way to avoid inheritance complicating anything outside of
Logs.Remote. It seems fine to require all inherited values to be
inherited and not set in the sameas remote's config. Since inherited
values will be used for stuff like encryption and perhaps chunking, which
control the actual content stored on the remote, it seems likely that
there will not be any reason to need them to vary between two remotes
that access the same underlying data store.
The newer version of containers is free; the minimum ghc version is
bundled with a newer version than that.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
* Only export to remotes that were initialized to support it.
* Prevent storing key/value on export remotes.
* Prevent enabling exporttree=yes and encryption in the same remote.
SetupStage Enable was changed to take the old RemoteConfig.
This allowed only setting exporttree when initially setting up a
remote, and not configuring it later after stuff might already be stored
in the remote.
Went with =yes rather than =true for consistency with other parts of
git-annex. Changed docs accordingly.

Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split
library.
After laying groundwork for this since 2015, it
was mostly straightforward. Added Utility.Tuple and
Utility.Split. Eyeballed System.Path.WildMatch while implementing
the same thing.
Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented
my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of
unknown size.

Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of
allocations. Here's a much simpler single character splitter that behaves
the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and
75% the allocations.
As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of
missingh.
(Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and
allocates even more.)
I have not benchmarked the effect on git-annex, but would not be surprised
to see some parsing of eg, large streams from git commands run twice as
fast, and possibly in less memory.

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.

This is useful for makking a special remote that anyone with a clone of the
repo and your public keys can upload files to, but only you can decrypt the
files stored in it.
When gpg.program is configured, it's used to get the command to run for
gpg. Useful on systems that have only a gpg2 command or want to use it
instead of the gpg command.
I've tested all the dataenc to sandi conversions except Assistant.XMPP,
and all have unchanged behavior, including behavior on large unicode code
points.
The fix is to stop using w82s, which does not properly reconstitute unicode
strings. Instrad, use utf8 bytestring to get the [Word8] to base64. This
passes unicode through perfectly, including any invalid filesystem encoded
characters.
Note that toB64 / fromB64 are also used for creds and cipher
embedding. It would be unfortunate if this change broke those uses.
For cipher embedding, note that ciphers can contain arbitrary bytes (should
really be using ByteString.Char8 there). Testing indicated it's not safe to
use the new fromB64 there; I think that characters were incorrectly
combined.
For credpair embedding, the username or password could contain unicode.
Before, that unicode would fail to round-trip through the b64.
So, I guess this is not going to break any embedded creds that worked
before.
This bug may have affected some creds before, and if so,
this change will not fix old ones, but should fix new ones at least.
Now `git annex info $remote` shows info specific to the type of the remote,
for example, it shows the rsync url.
Remote types that support encryption or chunking also include that in their
info.

Found these with:

Unfortunately there is some inline hamlet that cannot use tabs for
indentation.
Also, Assistant/WebApp/Bootstrap3.hs is a copy of a module and so I'm
leaving it as-is.

When decryption fails, the repo must be using non-encrypted creds. Note
that creds are encrypted/decrypted using the encryption cipher which is
stored in the repo, so the decryption cannot fail due to missing gpg keys
etc. (For !shared encryptiom, the cipher is iteself encrypted using some
gpg key(s), and the decryption of the cipher happens earlier, so not
affected by this change.
Print a warning message for !shared repos, and continue on using the
cipher. Wrote a page explaining what users hit by this bug should do.

encryptionSetup must be called before setRemoteCredPair. Otherwise,
the RemoteConfig doesn't have the cipher in it, and so no cipher is used to
encrypt the embedded creds.
This is a security fix for non-shared encryption methods!
For encryption=shared, there's no security problem, just an
inconsistentency in whether the embedded creds are encrypted.
This is very important to get right, so used some types to help ensure that
setRemoteCredPair is only run after encryptionSetup. Note that the external
special remote bypasses the type safety, since creds can be set after the
initial remote config, if the external special remote program requests it.
Also note that IA remotes never use encryption, so encryptionSetup is not
run for them at all, and again the type safety is bypassed.
This leaves two open questions:
1. What to do about S3 and glacier remotes that were set up
using encryption=pubkey/hybrid with embedcreds?
Such a git repo has a security hole embedded in it, and this needs to be
communicated to the user. Is the changelog enough?
2. enableremote won't work in such a repo, because git-annex will
try to decrypt the embedded creds, which are not encrypted, so fails.
This needs to be dealt with, especially for ecryption=shared repos,
which are not really broken, just inconsistently configured.
Noticing that problem for encryption=shared is what led to commit
fbdeeeed5f, which tried to
fix the problem by not decrypting the embedded creds.

This reverts commit fbdeeeed5f.
I can find no basis for that commit and think that I made it in error.
setRemoteCredPair always encrypts using the cipher from remoteCipher,
even when the cipher is shared.
Since encryption=shared, the encryption key is stored in the git repo, so
there is no point at all in encrypting the creds, also stored in the git
repo with that key. So `initremote` doesn't. The creds are simply stored
base-64 encoded.
However, it then tried to always decrypt creds when encryption was used..
Reusing http connection when operating on chunks is not done yet,
I had to submit some patches to DAV to support that. However, this is no
slower than old-style chunking was.
Note that it's a fileRetriever and a fileStorer, despite DAV using
bytestrings that would allow streaming. As a result, upload/download of
encrypted files is made a bit more expensive, since it spools them to temp
files. This was needed to get the progress meters to work.
There are probably ways to avoid that.. But it turns out that the current
DAV interface buffers the whole file content in memory, and I have
sent in a patch to DAV to improve its interfaces. Using the new interfaces,
it's certainly going to need to be a fileStorer, in order to read the file
size from the file (getting the size of a bytestring would destroy
laziness). It should be possible to use the new interface to make it be a
byteRetriever, so I'll change that when I get to it.

I tend to prefer moving toward explicit exception handling, not away from
it, but in this case, I think there are good reasons to let checkPresent
throw exceptions:
1. They can all be caught in one place (Remote.hasKey), and we know
every possible exception is caught there now, which we didn't before.
2. It simplified the code of the Remotes. I think it makes sense for
Remotes to be able to be implemented without needing to worry about
catching exceptions inside them. (Mostly.)
3. Types.StoreRetrieve.Preparer can only work on things that return a
Bool, which all the other relevant remote methods already did.
I do not see a good way to generalize that type; my previous attempts
failed miserably.
I'd have liked to keep these two concepts entirely separate,
but that are entagled: Storing a key in an encrypted and chunked remote
need to generate chunk keys, encrypt the keys, chunk the data, encrypt the
chunks, and send them to the remote. Similar for retrieval, etc.
So, here's an implemnetation of all of that.
The total win here is that every remote was implementing encrypted storage
and retrival, and now it can move into this single place. I expect this
to result in several hundred lines of code being removed from git-annex
eventually!

Cipher is now a datatype
data Cipher = Cipher String | MacOnlyCipher String
which makes more precise its interpretation MAC-only vs. MAC + used to
derive a key for symmetric crypto.
