Note that it does not prevent storing p2p access tokens or multicast
encryption keys, since those are not cached; the previous commit
established the distinction.
How well this works depends on how often getRemoteCredPair is called and
how expensive it is. In some cases setting this will result in an annoying
number of gpg password prompts and/or slowdowns due to reading creds
from the git-annex branch and decrypting, which could be improved by calling
getRemoteCredPair less often.

p2p and multicast creds are not cached the same way that s3 and webdav
creds are. The difference is that p2p and multicast obtain the creds
themselves, as part of a process like pairing. So they're storing the
only extant copy of the creds. In s3 and webdav etc the creds are
provided by the cloud storage provider.
This is a fine difference, but I do think it's a reasonable difference.
If the user wants to prevent s3 and webdav etc creds from being stored
unencrypted on disk, they won't feel the same about p2p auth tokens
used for tor, or a multicast encryption key, or for that matter their
local ssh private key.

annex.thin being set, don't silently skip it, but display a warning and let
