This method avoids breaking test_readonly. Just check if the dest file
exists, and avoid CoW probing when it does, so when CoW probing fails,
it can resume where the previous non-CoW copy left off.
If CoW has been probed already to work, delete the dest file
since a CoW copy will presumably work. It seems like it would be almost
as good to just skip CoW copying in this case too, but consider that the
dest file might have started to be copied from some other remote, not
using CoW, but CoW has been probed to work to copy from the current
place.

commit 63d508e885 broke test_readonly.
When a local git remote is readonly, tryCopyCoW run to copy a file
from it failed at withOtherTmp.

onAddUnlocked suggested that it had to add the file locked, but it
doesn't, it only queues the add of the file, and it's up to the
committer what to do -- which is currently indeed to always add the file
locked.
Disabling git-annex branch update for this command is
ok, because it does not use any information from the branch,
but only logs the location when it adds a key.

This avoids starting one process when only the other one is needed.
Eg in git-annex smudge --clean, this reduces the total number of
cat-file processes that are started from 4 to 2.
The only performance penalty is that when both are needed, it has to do
twice as much work to maintain the two Maps. But both are very small,
consisting of 1 or 2 items, so that work is negligible.

I first saw this getting with -J2 over ssh, but later saw it also
without the -J2. It was resuming, and the calulated unboundDelay was
many minutes. The first update of the meter jumped to some large value,
because of the resuming, and so it thought the BW was super fast.
Avoid by waiting until the second meter update.
Might be a good idea to also guard for the delay being many seconds
and avoid waiting. But how many? If BW is legitimately super fast, and a
remote happens to read more than a 32kb or so chunk at a time, it could
in theory download megabytes or gigabytes of data before the first meter
update. It would actually be appropriate then to delay for a long time,
if the desired BW was low. Could make up some numbers that are sane now,
but tech may improve.
(BTW, pleased to see bwlimit does work with -J. I had worried that
it might not, if the meter update happened in a different thread than
the downloading, but it's done in the same thread.)
