For reasons explained in the bug report.
Implemented using a persistent migration, which works fine. It may add a
little startup overhead when a remote is enabled that uses this, but
probably un-noticable.
On the next major version, it would be fine to delete this database,
and regenerate it from the git-annex branch information. Then this
change could be reverted.
Did nothing about adding back the data that got dropped from the db
due to the bug. Only the borg special remote was probably affected,
and it's not been released yet. rm -rf .git/annex/cidsdb does work.
Note that, after changing it with enableremote, syncing won't rescan
known archives in the borg repo using the changed config. Probably not a
problem?
Also used File in some places where filenames that could theoretically
start with - are passed to borg, to avoid it confusing them with
options.
Don't want to try to use these remotes as key/value remotes, which will
surely fail. It only recently became possible for importtree to be set
w/o exporttree, so before this code was ok.

In cd1676d604, it stopped using that to avoid surprising behavior
when the location log and remote content were out of sync.
But, it seems that may have changed some behavior users relied on as
well, and also Remote.hasKeyCheap should be faster than checking then
location log.
So, try Remote.hasKeyCheap first, and only if it does not have the key,
fall back to checking the location log. If the location log still thinks
it's present, go ahead and try to get it, so the user will see a failure
rather than silently skipping a file what whereis says is on the remote.
This does make slightly slower the case where the remote does not have
the key, and location log and Remote.hasKeyCheap agree, since it now
checks both. But only 1 stat slower.
