When fully stalled, the progress bar doesn't update, so waiting on a
MVar would block forever. There's no need to wait anyway, just wake up
after sleeping the configured period and check the current value.
Luckily Viasat makes it really easy for me to notice this kind of
mistake, by stalling long TCP connections frequently.
I need to think about this some more, not clear if it's a todo
item specific to stalldetection at all. Remotes with this behavior
also show no progress when run with -J. And some other remotes don't
update any progress meters at all, eg adb is that way and so are hook
remotes and of course external remotes don't have to send progress info.
Done on unix, could not implement it on windows quite.
The signal library gets part of the way needed for windows.
But I had to open https://github.com/pmlodawski/signal/issues/1 because
it lacks raiseSignal.
Also, I don't know what the equivilant of getProcessGroupIDOf is on
windows. And System.Process does not provide a way to send any signal to
a process group except for SIGINT.

All callers adjusted to update it themselves.
In Command.ReKey, and Command.SetKey, the cleanup action already did,
so it was updating the log twice before.
This fixes a bug when annex.stalldetection is set, as now
Command.Transferrer can skip updating the location log, and let it be
updated by the calling process.
There was no particular reason not to support this, other than maybe a lack
of a use case. One use case would of course be a remote that you want to
avoid overwriting content on. A new use case is the idea of importing from
backups, eg borg, where exporting is not necessarily supported at all.

Rather than using Read/Show, which would force me to preserve data types
into the future.
I considered just deriving json and sending that, but I don't much like
deriving json with data types that have named constructors (like Key
does) because again it locks in data type details.
So instead, used SimpleProtocol, with a fairly complex and unreadable
protocol. But it is as efficient as the p2p protocol at least, and as
future proof.
(Writing my own custom json instances would have worked but I thought
of it too late and don't want to do all the work twice. The only real
benefit might be that aeson could be faster.)
Note that, when a new protocol request type is added later, git-annex
trying to use it will cause the git-annex transferrer to display a
protocol error message. That seems ok; it would only happen if a new
git-annex found an old version of itself in PATH or the program
file. So it's unlikely, and all it can do anyway is display an error.
(The error message could perhaps be improved..)

Adding new instance for Integer, and some parsers for more parameters.
The conversion of readish to readMaybe is done because a serialized
exit code cannot contain additional text after the number.
Doing this at shutdown is not very important at all, but I do like to
make sure that when git-annex allocates a resource, it later cleans it
up.
More importantly, stopCoProcesses is used in eg, Remote.Git in a
situation where it needs to stop long-running processes like these.
This is to avoid breakage when upgrading or downgrading git-annex with a
process running that uses the interface. It's better to keep the
compatability code for a few years than worry about such breakage.
