Fix a crash opening sqlite databases when run in a non-unicode locale,
with a remote that uses a non-unicode filepath. In that situation
converting to Text fails.
The fix needs git-annex to be built with persistent-sqlite 2.13.3.
Building against older versions still works, but that version is used when
building with stack.
Database.RawFilePath is a lot of code copied from persistent-sqlite and
lightly modified, since only 1 function in persistent-sqlite was made to
support RawFilePath. This is a bit of a pain, and I hope that
persistent-sqlite will eventually switch to using OsPath, allowing this
module to be removed from git-annex.

Avoid a problem with temp file names ending in "." on certian filesystems
that have problems with such filenames.
relatedTemplate is quite an ugly hack really; since it doesn't know the max
filename length of the filesystem it can only assume that the filename is
max allowed length. When given the input "lh.aparc.DKTatlas.annot", it
wants to reserve 20 characters for tempfile so it truncates to "lh.". That
ending period is apparently a problem on some filesystem (FAT eats it, but
does not throw EINVAL; ntfs does not seem bothered by it, I don't know what
FUSE filesystem the bug reporter was really using).

Presumably git merge sometimes needs to verifiy if a worktree file is
modified, and so will then run git-annex filter-process which would try to
take the pid lock. And for whatever reason, git-annex sync already had the
pidlock held. I have not replicated that, but it does make enough sense to
deploy the workaround.
Like I said back in commit 7bdb0cdc0d,
Arguably, it would be better to have a way to make any process git-annex
runs have the env var set. But then it would need to take the pid lock
when running any and all processes, and that would be a problem when
git-annex runs two processes concurrently. So, I'm left doing it ad-hoc
in places where git-annex really does run a child process, directly
or indirectly via a particular git command.

Implementation was simple because it's equivilant to
--from=foo --to remote for each other remote, followed by
--to remote when there's a local copy.
(Or, in the edge case of --from-anywhere --to=here,
it's the same as --to=here.)
Note that, when the local repo does not have a copy,
fromToPerform gets it from a remote, sends it to the destination,
and drops the local copy. Another call to that for a second remote
will notice that the dest now has a copy, and simply drop from the
second remote, avoiding a second transfer.
Also note that, when numcopies doesn't allow dropping it from
everywhere, it will drop it from the cheapest remotes first
(maybe not ideal) up to more expensive remotes, and finally from the local
repo. So the local repo will generally end up holding a copy. Maybe not
ideal in all cases either, but it seems no worse to do that than to end up
with a copy undropped from a remote.
And I'm not entirely happy with the output, eg:
copy bigfile (from r3...) ok
copy bigfile ok
That makes sense if you think of the second line as being
the same as what is output by `git-annex copy bigfile --to bar`,
but it's less clear in this context. Maybe add "(from here...)"?
Also the --json output doesn't have a machine-readable field for
the "from" uuid, and maybe it should?
