When stall detection is enabled, and a transfer is in progress,
it would display a doubled message:
(transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock) (transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock)
That happened because the forward retry decider had a start size of 0,
and an end size of whatever amount of the object the other process had
downloaded. So it incorrectly thought that the transferrer process had
made progress, when it had in fact immediately given up with that
message.
Instead, use the reported value from the progress meter. If a remote
does not report progress, this will mean it doesn't forward retry, in a
situation where it used to. But most remotes do report progress, and any
remote that does not can be fixed to, by using watchFileSize when
downloading. Also, some remotes might preallocate the temp file (eg
bittorrent), so relying on statting its size at this level to get
progress is dubious.
The same change was made to Annex/Transfer.hs, although only
Annex/TransferrerPool.hs needed to be changed to avoid the duplicate
message.
(An alternate fix would have been to start the retry decider with the
size of the object file before downloading begins, rather than 0.)

Clear visible progress bar first.
Removed showSideActionAfter because it can't be used in reconcileStaged
(import loop). Instead, it counts the number of files it
processes and displays it after it's seen a sufficient to know it's
taking a while.

New config annex.stalldetection, remote.name.annex-stalldetection, which
can be used to deal with remotes that stall during transfers, or are
sometimes too slow to want to use.

That seems to be the last thing needed for message serialization.
Although it's only used in the assistant currently, so hard to tell if I
forgot something.
At this point, it should be possible to start using transferkeys
when performing transfers, which will allow killing a transferkeys
process if a transfer times out or stalls. But that's for another day.

Any given transfer can only display 1 progress meter at a time, or so
this code assumes. In some cases, there are progress meters for
different stages of a transfer, perhaps, and that is supported by this.
