When used without --content or --no-content, warn about the upcoming
transition, and suggest using one of the options, or setting
annex.synccontent.

This option is not specific to sync, so it seemed it should be in either
pull or push as well as sync. Since it does modify the remote, it seems
better to have it in push; the modification of the local repo pulls in
the direction of pull, but not hard enough.
Maybe it would be better to have it in both?

I anticipate that if sync is transitioned to syncing content by default,
people will want a short option. And in repositories where
annex.synccontent = true, they already would. And pull and push sync
content by default, so a short option is useful with them too.
Mnemonic: -g makes only git data be synced
Also, -a makes only annex data be synced.
Would have preferred -c, which would complement -C, but it
was already taken to set git configs.

Split out two new commands, git-annex pull and git-annex push. Those plus a
git commit are equivilant to git-annex sync.
In a sense, git-annex sync conflates 3 things, and it would have been
better to have push and pull from the beginning and not sync. Although
note that git-annex sync --content is faster than a pull followed by a
push, because it only has to walk the tree once, look at preferred
content once, etc. So there is some value in git-annex sync in speed, as
well as user convenience.
And it would be hard to split out pull and push from sync, as far as the
implementaton goes. The implementation inside sync was easy, just adjust
SyncOptions so it does the right thing.
Note that the new commands default to syncing content, unless
annex.synccontent is explicitly set to false. I'd like sync to also do
that, but that's a hard transition to make. As a start to that
transition, I added a note to git-annex-sync.mdwn that it may start to
do so in a future version of git-annex. But a real transition would
necessarily involve displaying warnings when sync is used without
--content, and time.

The man page is somewhat vague about this, but I do think it was a bug
that these options didn't alreay behave that way. The options are
documented to disable imports and exports, which is the same operations
just with a special remote that uses trees.
The real motivation for this is that I'm adding git-annex pull and
git-annex push, and I want these options to turn off the equivilant of
those commands. And git-annex pull will certianly download and push
upload.

POSIX character classes allowed in globs was a surprise, but just
happened to fall out of the implementation in a way that seems
to behave correctly.
mdwn2man has to be tweaked to render the example properly.
The line I modified is the one that strips ikiwiki wikilinks out of the
man page.

That was added in 2011 to prevent writing to the git-annex branch on
shutdown. But, the use of saveState causes pending git-annex branch
writes to be completed before the branch is deleted. So, an unusual exit
is not needed.
Had to convert uninit to do everything that can error out inside a
CommandStart. This was harder than feels nice.
(Also, in passing, converted CommandCheck to use a data type, not a
weird number that it was not clear how it managed to be unique.)

I think this was just copied from another command without paying
attention to what it did, because there does not seem to be any valid
reason to want to only unannex some files when running uninit.
Seems unlikely to be too useful, but who knows.
Moved the checkSafeConfig call to happen after an action is started, so
it will be captured by --json-error-messages

Including special --whatelse handling.
Otherwise, it seems unlikely to be too useful, but who knows.
Refactored code to call starting before displaying error messages.
This makes the error messages be captured by --json-error-messages

Seems unlikely to be very useful, but trivial.
And, this completes the story that git-annex sync does not need json,
since every sub-operation is available in a command that does support json.
(Well, except for committing, but that's not a git-annex command.)

The input field is consistently the url of the feed, which makes sense
as that is the user input, but to differentiate multiple urls downloaded
from a feed when using --json-progress -J, need the url that is being
downloaded too.
Sponsored-By: the NIH-funded NICEMAN (ReproNim TR&D3) project
Both -J and --json needed importfeed to be refactored to use commandAction.
That was difficult, because of the interrelated nature of downloading feeds
and then downloading files from feeds, both of which needed to use
commandAction. And then checking for problems in feeds has to come after
these actions, which may be run as background jobs.
As for --json support, it's most of the way there, but still has some
warts, so I didn't enable jsonOptions yet. The warts include:
- An initial empty json record is displayed by getCache.
- Input is not populated, should be feed url
- feedProblem at end will not be captured by --json-error-messages
(see FIXME)

Also fix support for operating on multiple pairs of files and keys.
Moved notAnnexed to inside starting, so error message will get into the json.
Cannot include the key in the starting as it's not known yet, so instead
add it to the json later.

Dunno how useful this will be, since about all that's accessible from
the json is whether it succeeded or failed, and the error messages
which were already on stderr.
Note that, when autoenabling a special remote, it would be possible for
one to stop and prompt or output not using Messages and so not output as
part of the json. I don't think that happens, but I'm not 100% sure
something doesn't manage to break it. Of course, the same could be the
case for commands that transfer objects. Using Annex.Init.autoEnableSpecialRemotes
in --json mode would avoid the problem, but I've chosen to wait until I
know it's needed to use it.

Generalized AddJSONActionItemField to allow it to add several fields. Not entirely
happy with that, since the names of the fields have to be carefully chosen to
not conflict with other json fields. And fields added that way can't be parsed
back in FromJSON, except for the "fields" field that is special cased for metadata.
Still, I couldn't see another way to do it.
Also, omit file:null from the json output. Which does affect other commands,
eg git-annex whereis --all --json. Hopefully that won't break something that expects
a null file. If it did, that could be reverted, but it would be ugly to have
file:null in the unused --json
