This is similar to the pusher thread, but a separate thread because git
pushes can be done in parallel with exports, and updating a big export
should not prevent other git pushes going out in the meantime.
The exportThread only runs at most every 30 seconds, since updating an
export is more expensive than pushing. This may need to be tuned.
Added a separate channel for export commits; the committer records a
commit in that channel.
Also, reconnectRemotes records a dummy commit, to make the exporter
thread wake up and make sure all exports are up-to-date. So,
connecting a drive with a directory special remote export will
immediately update it, and getting online will automatically
update S3 and WebDAV exports.
The transfer queue is not involved in exports. Instead, failed
exports are retried much like failed pushes.

The bug occurred when closeDb was not called, and garbage collection of
the DbHandle didn't give the workerThread time to shut down. Fixed by
exiting the runSqlite action when a commit is made.
(MultiWriter mode already forked off a runSqlite action, so avoided the
problem.)

Now when one repository has exported a tree, another repository can get
files from the export, after syncing.
There's a bug: While the database update works, somehow the database on
disk does not get updated, and so the database update is run the next
time, etc. Wasn't able to figure out why yet.

New table needed to look up what filenames are used in the currently
exported tree, for reasons explained in export.mdwn.
Also, added smart constructors for ExportLocation and ExportDirectory to
make sure they contain filepaths with the right direction slashes.
And some code refactoring.

There does not seem to be a use case for supporting that, and it would
need a lot of complication to support it in a way that allows eventual
consistency when two repositories are updating the same export.

Apparently box.com renaming is just buggy. I tried a couple of fixes:
* In case the http Manager was opening multiple connections and reaching
different backend servers, I tried limiting the number of connections
to 1. Didn't help.
* To make sure it was not a http connection reuse problem, I tried
rewriting how exportAction works, so that the same http connection
is clearly open. Didn't help.
So, disable renaming of exports for box.com. It would be good to test it
with some other webdav server.

It was not getting old lines removed, because the tree graft confused
the updater, so it union merged from the previous git-annex branch,
which still contained the old lines. Fixed by carefully using setIndexSha.

This breaks backwards compatibility, but only with unreleased versions of
git-annex, which I think is acceptable.

Removal works, only derives are a potential issue, so allow removing
with a warning. This way, unexporting a file works, and behavior is
consistent with IA remotes whether or not exporttree=yes.
Also tested exporting filenames containing unicode, spaces, underscores.
All worked, despite the IA's faq saying it doesn't.

It opens a http connection per file exported, but then so does git
annex copy --to s3.
Decided not to munge exported filenames for IA. Too large a chance of
the munging having confusing results. Instead, export of files not
supported by IA, eg with spaces in their name, will fail.

Only rename when actually ncessary.
The diff gets buffered in memory. Probably git has to buffer a diff in
memory when generating it as well, so this memory usage should not be a
problem, even when the diff is very large. I hope.

Don't allow "exporttree=yes" to be set when the special remote
does not support exports. That would be confusing since the user would
set up a special remote for exports, but `git annex export` to it would
later fail.

The export database has writes made to it and then expects to read back
the same data immediately. But, the way that Database.Handle does
writes, in order to support multiple writers, makes that not work, due
to caching issues. This resulted in export re-uploading files it had
already successfully renamed into place.
Fixed by allowing databases to be opened in MultiWriter or SingleWriter
mode. The export database only needs to support a single writer; it does
not make sense for multiple exports to run at the same time to the same
special remote.
All other databases still use MultiWriter mode. And by inspection,
nothing else in git-annex seems to be relying on being able to
immediately query for changes that were just written to the database.

Straightforward enough, except for the needed belt-and-suspenders sanity
checks to avoid foot shooting due to exports not being key/value stores.
* Even when annex.verify=false, always verify from exports.
* Only get files from exports that use a backend that supports
checksum verification.
* Never trust exports, even if the user says to, because then
`git annex drop` would drop content if the export seemed to contain
a copy.

Removed uncorrect UniqueKey key in db schema; a key can appear multiple
times with different files.
The database has to be flushed after each removal. But when adding files
to the export, lots of changes are able to be queued up w/o flushing.
So it's still fairly efficient.
If large removals of files from exports are too slow, an alternative
would be to make two passes over the diff, one pass queueing deletions
from the database, then a flush and the a second pass updating the
location log. But that would use more memory, and need to look up
exportKey twice per removed file, so I've avoided such optimisation yet.

* Only export to remotes that were initialized to support it.
* Prevent storing key/value on export remotes.
* Prevent enabling exporttree=yes and encryption in the same remote.
SetupStage Enable was changed to take the old RemoteConfig.
This allowed only setting exporttree when initially setting up a
remote, and not configuring it later after stuff might already be stored
in the remote.
Went with =yes rather than =true for consistency with other parts of
git-annex. Changed docs accordingly.

Make a pass over the whole exported tree, and upload anything that has
not yet reached the export. Update location log when exporting.
Note that the synthesized keys for non-annexed files are stored in the
location log too.
Some cases involving files in the tree with the same content are not
handled correctly yet.
