"http" was too generic and easy to confuse with web. The new name makes
clear it's used in addition to some other remote. And other protocols
can use the same naming scheme.
In several cases, there's an old, maybe unmaintained special remote,
and rclone also supports the service. I don't know which is better,
so I added tips pages for these, listing both possibilies, so users can
fill in the details.
Added some things listed in special_remotes/rclone that were not
in the cloud provider list, so users will see it supports those.
But, omitted S3 and webdav, since it's probably better for users to use
what's built into git-annex than going via rclone.
The rclone list is out of date apparently, as rclone.org has more,
so I added a note at the bottom for users to check.

git annex testremote passes.
exportree not implemented yet, although the documentation talks about it,
since it will be the main way this remote will be used.
The adb push/pull progress is displayed for now; it would be better
to consume it and use it to update the git-annex progress bar.

addurl behavior change: When downloading an url ending in .torrent,
it will download files from bittorrent, instead of the old behavior
of adding the torrent file to the repository.
Added Recommends on aria2 and bittornado | bittorrent.

Known problems:
1. Tries to tahoe start when daemon is already running.
2. If multiple tahoe remotes are set up on the same computer,
they will have the same node.url configured by default,
and this confuses tahoe commands.
