Removed undocumented special case in handling of a CHECKURL-MULTI response
with only a single file listed. Rather than ignoring the url that was in
the response, use it. This allows external special remotes that want to
provide some better url to do so, although I don't entirely agree with
using CHECKURL-MULTI to accomplish that. I'm more of the feeling that an
undocumented special case that throws data away is just not a good idea.
This could in theory break some external special remote program that relied
on the current behavior, but its seems unlikely that it would because such
a program must already handle the multiple url case, unless it only ever
provides a single url response to CHECKURL-MULTI.
Make addurl --file work with a single item CHECKURL-MULTI response.
It already did for external special remotes due to the special case,
but now it also will for builtin ones like the BitTorrent special remote.

git-annex init on the sdcard will now create a v7 adjusted unlocked
repo. While the assistant does still set up direct mode, that's not
because of /sdcard being a crippled filesystem.
This is safe, because while the annex object ends up executable,
there were already at least two other cases where it ended up executable:
1. git add an an executable file
2. chmod +x of a a non-executable worktree file that was hard linked to the
annex object
After copy/hard link, it always fixes up the permissions to match the mode
of the worktree file, so when an executable annex object gets hard linked
to a non-executable worktree file, its execute bit gets removed.
Commit b7c8bf5274 already *said* it would do
this; I suspect the line of code I've removed was included in that commit
accidentially.
Also improves annex.thin documentation.

This makes --version=6 still work, despite v6 not being in
supportedVersions. Which is useful for scripts that use it.
I didn't document it on the man page, because it's indistinguishable
from an automatic upgrade after initting as v6.
It's auto-upgraded to 5, so does not need to be listed there.
Let's keep supportedVersions for versions that git-annex will actually
use without autoupgrading or demanding an upgrade.
