I anticipate lots of external special remote programs will neglect
implementing this. Still, it's the right thing to do to assume that some
of them may write files out of order. Probably most external special
remotes will not be used with a proxy. When someone is using one with a
proxy, they can always get it fixed to send ORDERED.
Added rclone special remote, which can be used without needing to install
the git-annex-remote-rclone program. This needs a new version of rclone,
which supports "rclone gitannex".
This is implemented as a variant of an external special remote, that
runs "rclone gitannex" instead of the usual git-annex-remote- command.
Parameterized Remote.External to support that.

* S3: Amazon S3 buckets created after April 2023 do not support ACLs,
so public=yes cannot be used with them. Existing buckets configured
with public=yes will keep working.
* S3: Allow setting publicurl=yes without public=yes, to support
buckets that are configured with a Bucket Policy that allows public
access.

Support VERSION 2 in the external special remote protocol, which is
identical to VERSION 1, but avoids external remote programs neededing to
work around the above bug. External remote program that support
exporttree=yes are recommended to be updated to send VERSION 2.

Based on https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/58409, the Go compiler
already defaults to using a google proxy server, which would allow
Google to collect information about what dependencies users are
installing. (Of course they claim they won't.) Two separate environment
settings are needed to turn that off, and users in that thread were
surprised to learn about one of them.
So this warning is already appropriate to some extent.
Also based on the minimisation of user concerns by the golang developers
on that issue and elsewhere, it seems best to assume that they are not
going to be dissuaded from increasing data collection efforts in the future,
even if the blowback prevents this particular attempt.
So this warning should not be removed unless the Go community somehow
extricates itself from Google's control. Or unless ipfs is rewritten in
another language.
Some distros do have ipfs. Unfortunately, Debian appears to be structurally
incapable of packaging it. (8 years and counting;
https://bugs.debian.org/779893). So lots of users will be stuck
installing it from source or having to trust its official binaries.
S3: Support a region= configuration useful for some non-Amazon S3
implementations. This feature needs git-annex to be built with aws-0.24.
datacenter= sets both the AWS hostname and region in one setting, which is
easy when using AWS, but not useful for other hosts. So kept datacenter
as-is, but added this additional config.

When a web special remote does not have urlinclude/urlexclude
configured, make it respect the configuration of other web special
remotes and avoid using urls that match the config of another.
Note that the other web special remote does not have to be enabled.
That seems ok, it would have been extra work to check for only ones that
are enabled.
The implementation does mean that the web special remote re-parses
its own config once at startup, as well as re-parsing the configs of any
other web special remotes. This should be a very small slowdown
unless there are lots of web special remotes.

Allow initremote of additional special remotes with type=web, in addition
to the default web special remote.
When --sameas=web is used, these provide additional names for the web
special remote, and may also have their own additional configuration
(once there is any for the web special remote) and cost.

This can be used, for example, with importtree=yes to import from a public
bucket.
This needs a patch that has not yet landed in the aws library, and will
need to be adjusted to support compiling with old versions of the library,
so is not yet suitable for merging.
See https://github.com/aristidb/aws/pull/281
The stack.yaml changes are provided to show how to build against the aws
fork and will need to be reverted as well.

keyid+= can be used to add additional key ids later.
I wonder if this broke with changes to remote configs? But I think it's
always been a map, and so only one keyid can be stored and later ones
overwrite earlier ones.

To avoid using find -printf, which was first supported in Android around
2019-2020.
Probing seems too fragile, and execing stat once per file is too slow to do
when there's a faster way available, which brought me to an option...
