Avoids annex.largefiles inconsitency and also avoids a lot of
unneccessary calls to the clean filter when a large repo's clone
is being initialized.

v6: When annex.largefiles is not configured for a file, running git add or
git commit, or otherwise using git to stage a file will add it to the annex
if the file was in the annex before, and to git otherwise. This is to avoid
accidental conversion.
Note that git-annex add's behavior has not changed, for reasons explained
in the added comment.
Performance: No added overhead when annex.largefiles is configured.
When not configured, there is an added call to catObjectMetaData,
which involves a round trip through git cat-file --batch.
However, the earlier catKeyFile primes the cache for it.

Last of the known v6 races.
This also makes git add of a pointer file populate it when its content
is present in the annex. Which makes sense to do, I think.

Update pointer file next time reconcileStaged is run to recover from the
race.
Note that restagePointerFile causes git to run the clean filter,
and that will run reconcileStaged. So, normally by the time the git
annex get/drop command finishes, the race has already been dealt with.
It may be that, in some case, that won't happen and the race will be
dealt with at a later point. git-annex could run reconcileStaged at
shutdown if that becomes a problem.
This does not handle the situation where the git mv is committed before
git-annex gets a chance to run again. git commit does run the clean
filter, and that happens to re-inject the content if it was supposed to
be dropped but is still populated. But, the case where the file was
supposed to be gotten but is not populated is not handled yet.

If a pointer file is being populated and something modifies it at the
same time, there was a race there the modified file's InodeCache
could get added into the keys database.
Note that replaceFile normally renames the temp file into place, so the
inode cache caculated for the temp file will still be good. If it has to
fall back to a copy, the worktree file won't be put in the inode cache.
This has the same result as if the worktree file gets touched, and will
be handled the same way. Eg, when dropping, isUnmodified will do an
expensive comparison and notice that the worktree file does have the
same content, and so drop it.

It can be set to an empty string to use the system locales too. Of course
whether that will work depends on the amount of divergence.

This would be better if getInternalFiles were
more polymorphic, but I can't see a good
way to accomplish that without messing with Data.Typeable,
which seemed like overkill.
Reverted CommandAction back to the simpler version.
