This will allow disabling exports for remotes that are not configured to
allow them. Also, exportSupported will be useful for the external
special remote to probe.

Implemented so far for the directory special remote.
Several remotes don't make sense to export to. Regular Git remotes,
obviously, do not. Bup remotes almost certianly do not, since bup would
need to be used to extract the export; same store for Ddar. Web and
Bittorrent are download-only. GCrypt is always encrypted so exporting to
it would be pointless. There's probably no point complicating the Hook
remotes with exporting at this point. External, S3, Glacier, WebDAV,
Rsync, and possibly Tahoe should be modified to support export.
Thought about trying to reuse the storeKey/retrieveKeyFile/removeKey
interface, rather than adding a new interface. But, it seemed better to
keep it separate, to avoid a complicated interface that sometimes
encrypts/chunks key/value storage and sometimes users non-key/value
storage. Any common parts can be factored out.
Note that storeExport is not atomic.
doc/design/exporting_trees_to_special_remotes.mdwn has some things in
the "resuming exports" section that bear on this decision. Basically,
I don't think, at this time, that an atomic storeExport would help with
resuming, because exports are not key/value storage, and we can't be
sure that a partially uploaded file is the same content we're currently
trying to export.
Also, note that ExportLocation will always use unix path separators.
This is important, because users may export from a mix of windows and
unix, and it avoids complicating the API with path conversions,
and ensures that in such a mix, they always use the same locations for
exports.

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.

* Removed the webapp-secure build flag, rolling it into the webapp build
flag.
* Removed the quvi and tahoe build flags, which only adds aeson to
the core dependencies.
* Removed the feed build flag, which only adds feed to the core
dependencies.
Build flags have cost in both code complexity and also make Setup configure
have to work harder to find a usable set of build flags when some
dependencies are missing.
In c6632ee5c8, it actually only handled
uploading objects to a shared repository. To avoid verification when
downloading objects from a shared repository, was a lot harder.
On the plus side, if the process of downloading a file from a remote
is able to verify its content on the side, the remote can indicate this
now, and avoid the extra post-download verification.
As of yet, I don't have any remotes (except Git) using this ability.
Some more work would be needed to support it in special remotes.
It would make sense for tahoe to implicitly verify things downloaded from it;
as long as you trust your tahoe server (which typically runs locally),
there's cryptographic integrity. OTOH, despite bup being based on shas,
a bup repo under an attacker's control could have the git ref used for an
object changed, and so a bup repo shouldn't implicitly verify. Indeed,
tahoe seems unique in being trustworthy enough to implicitly verify.
Now it suffices to run git remote add, followed by git-annex sync. Now the
remote is automatically initialized for use by git-annex, where before the
git-annex branch had to manually be pushed before using git-annex sync.
Note that this involved changes to git-annex-shell, so if the remote is
using an old version, the manual push is still needed.
Implementation required git-annex-shell be changed, so configlist can
autoinit a repository even when no git-annex branch has been pushed yet.
Unfortunate because we'll have to wait for it to get deployed to servers
before being able to rely on this change in the documentation.
Did consider making git-annex sync push the git-annex branch to repos that
didn't have a uuid, but this seemed difficult to do without complicating it
in messy ways.
It would be cleaner to split a command out from configlist to handle
the initialization. But this is difficult without sacrificing backwards
compatability, for users of old git-annex versions which would not use the
new command.
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.

This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
Added a mkUnavailable method, which a Remote can use to generate a version
of itself that is not available. Implemented for several, but not yet all
remotes.
This allows testing that checkPresent properly throws an exceptions when
it cannot check if a key is present or not. It also allows testing that the
other methods don't throw exceptions in these circumstances.
This immediately found several bugs, which this commit also fixes!
* git remotes using ssh accidentially had checkPresent return
an exception, rather than throwing it
* The chunking code accidentially returned False rather than
propigating an exception when there were no chunks and
checkPresent threw an exception for the non-chunked key.

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 think both of these are all that's affected, but I went ahead and fixed
all the remotes that set their config to M.empty to instead store the
actual config. Who knows what will expect it to be actually present in
future, the Remote instance of getGpgEncParams came to..
Currently only implemented for local git remotes. May try to add support
to git-annex-shell for ssh remotes later. Could concevably also be
supported by some special remote, although that seems unlikely.
Cronner user this when available, and when not falls back to
fsck --fast --from remote
git annex fsck --from does not itself use this interface.
To do so, I would need to pass --fast and all other options that influence
fsck on to the git annex fsck that it runs inside the remote. And that
seems like a lot of work for a result that would be no better than
cd remote; git annex fsck
This may need to be revisited if git-annex-shell gets support, since it
may be the case that the user cannot ssh to the server to run git-annex
fsck there, but can run git-annex-shell there.

addurl: Improve message when adding url with wrong size to existing file.
Before the message suggested the url didn't exist.
Fixed handling of URL keys that have no recorded size. Before, if the key
has no size, the url also had to not declare any size, which was unlikely
and wrong, or it was taken to not exist. This probably would mostly affect
keys that were added to the annex with addurl --relaxed.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used --
nether allows a user-agent header to be specified.

To support this, a core.gcrypt-id is stored by git-annex inside the git
config of a local gcrypt repository, when setting it up.
That is compared with the remote's cached gcrypt-id. When different, a
drive has been changed. git-annex then looks up the remote config for
the uuid mapped from the core.gcrypt-id, and tweaks the configuration
appropriately. When there is no known config for the uuid, it will refuse to
use the remote.
When quvi is installed, git-annex addurl automatically uses it to detect
when an page is a video, and downloads the video file.
web special remote: Also support using quvi, for getting files,
or checking if files exist in the web.

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.
There was confusion in different parts of the progress bar code about
whether an update contained the total number of bytes transferred, or the
number of bytes transferred since the last update. One way this bug
showed up was progress bars that seemed to stick at zero for a long time.
In order to fix it comprehensively, I add a new BytesProcessed data type,
that is explicitly a total quantity of bytes, not a delta.
Note that this doesn't necessarily fix every problem with progress bars.
Particularly, buffering can now cause progress bars to seem to run ahead
of transfers, reaching 100% when data is still being uploaded.
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..
Currently only the web special remote is readonly, but it'd be possible to
also have readonly drives, or other remotes. These are handled in the
assistant by only downloading from them, and never trying to upload to
them.
