use hmac in balanced preferred content
This deals with the possible security problem that someone could make an
unusually low UUID and generate keys that are all constructed to hash to
a number that, mod the number of repositories in the group, == 0.
So balanced preferred content would always put those keys in the
repository with the low UUID as long as the group contains the
number of repositories that the attacker anticipated.
Presumably the attacker than holds the data for ransom? Dunno.

Anyway, the partial solution is to use HMAC (sha256) with all the UUIDs
combined together as the "secret", and the key as the "message". Now any
change in the set of UUIDs in a group will invalidate the attacker's
constructed keys from hashing to anything in particular.

Given that there are plenty of other things someone can do if they can
write to the repository -- including modifying preferred content so only
their repository wants files, and numcopies so other repositories drom
them -- this seems like safeguard enough.

Note that, in balancedPicker, combineduuids is memoized.

add newtypes for QuickCheck to avoid LANG=C issues
All properties changed to use them, except for
prop_encode_c_decode_c_roundtrip, which already filtered to ascii
for other reasons.

A few modules had to be split out, because Setup does not build-depend
on QuickCheck.

0c01348b65 pairing passphrase entry form, validation, etc
Actually 3 forms in one, this handles the initial passphrase entry, and the
confirmation, and also varys wording if the same user or a different user
is confirming.
