An easy change now that supportedVersions is a list. Since v3 and v5 are
identical other than version number, just add v3 to the list.

Fixes a bug introduced with v6 mode that I didn't notice until now.
Probably not many v3 repos left out there, and upgrading them to v6 mode
is not disastrous, only a little premature.

.. and have to be checked to see if they are a pointed to an annexed file.
Cases where such memory use could occur included, but were not limited to:
- git commit -a of a large unlocked file (in v5 mode)
- git-annex adjust when a large file was checked into git directly
Generally, any use of catKey was a potential problem.
Fix by using git cat-file --batch-check to check size before catting.
This adds another git batch process, which is included in the CatFileHandle
for simplicity.
There could be performance impact, anywhere catKey is used. Particularly
likely to affect adjusted branch generation speed, and operations on
unlocked files in v6 mode. Hopefully since the --batch-check and
--batch read the same data, disk buffering will avoid most overhead.
Leaving only the overhead of talking to the process over the pipe and
whatever computation --batch-check needs to do.

Currently only done for utf-8 locales because the charset can easily be
told for those. Other locales don't include the charset in their name.
The locale definition is generated under git-annex.linux/locales.
So, this only works if the user can write there.
If locale generation fails for any reason, it's silently skipped.
The git-annex-standalone.deb installs the bundle under /usr, so this locale
generation won't work for non-root users.
Version mismatches between the system locale-archive and the glibc in the
bundle have been observed to cause git crashes.
Unfortunately, this causes locales to not be used in the linux standalone
bundle, as was the case until version 6.20160419.
glibc hardcodes the path to /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive and does not
let an environment variable cause a different locale-archive file to be used.
The only other option to include locales in the bundle would be to include
exploded locale definition directories in the bundle for a number of
locales, generated by localedef. But these take at least 300 kb per locale,
and there are a great many locales; it would be hundreds of megabytes to
include them all.
(Hmm, we could include localdef in the bundle, and check LANG in runshell
and compile the locale directories on the fly. This would need
/usr/share/i18n/ and /usr/lib/locale-archive to be included in the bundle.
It's.. doable.)
I know this is going to once again cause users of the bundle to complain
that eg, ls doesn't show their unicode filenames right. Better than strange
crashes though.
