A recent change made plumbing the backend through fsck unncessary.
Left fsck checking backend and skipping operating on key when it could
not find one, although I'm not sure if that's necessary to support eg,
keys with unknown backend.
When a file in the export is renamed, and the remote's renameExport
returned Nothing, renaming to the temp file would first say it was
renaming, and appear to succeed, but actually what it did was delete the
file. Then renaming from the temp file would not do anything, since the
temp file is not present on the remote. This appeared as if a file got
renamed to a temp file and left there.
Note that exporttree=yes importree=yes remotes have their usual
renameExport replaced with one that returns Nothing. (For reasons
explained in Remote.Helper.ExportImport.) So this happened
even with remotes that support renameExport.
Fix by letting renameExport = Nothing when it's not supported at all.
This avoids displaying the rename.

What this can currently be used for is only to change an url from being
used by a special remote to being used by the web remote.
This could have been a --move-from option to registerurl. But, that would
have complicated its option and --batch processing, and also would have
complicated unregisterurl, which is implemented on top of
Command.Registerurl. So, a separate command was actually less complicated
to implement.
The generic description of the command is because I want to make this
command a catch-all for other url updating kind of things, if there are
ever any more. Also because it was hard to come up with a good name for the
specific action. I considered `git-annex moveurl`, but that seems to
indicate data is perhaps actually being moved, and seems to sit at the same
level as addurl and rmurl, and this command is at the plumbing
level of registerurl and unregisterurl.
