fromkey --json
* fromkey: Added --json.
* fromkey --batch output changed to support using it with --json.
  The old output was not parseable for any useful information, so
  this is not expected to break anything.

added -z
Added -z option to git-annex commands that use --batch, useful for
supporting filenames containing newlines.

It only controls input to --batch, the output will still be line delimited
unless --json or etc is used to get some other output. While git often
makes -z affect both input and output, I don't like trying them together,
and making it affect output would have been a significant complication,
and also git-annex output is generally not intended to be machine parsed,
unless using --json or a format option.

Commands that take pairs like "file key" still separate them with a space
in --batch mode. All such commands take care to support filenames with
spaces when parsing that, so there was no need to change it, and it would
have needed significant changes to the batch machinery to separate tose
with a null.

To make fromkey and registerurl support -z, I had to give them a --batch
option. The implicit batch mode they enter when not provided with input
parameters does not support -z as that would have complicated option
parsing. Seemed better to move these toward using the same --batch as
everything else, though the implicit batch mode can still be used.

24317be646 git-annex fromkey now takes multiple pairs of keys and filenames
It also still reads from stdin when none are specified.

77c43a388e fromkey, registerurl: Allow urls to be specified instead of keys, and generate URL keys.
This is especially useful because the caller doesn't need to generate valid
url keys, which involves some escaping of characters, and may involve
taking a md5sum of the url if it's too long.
