This turns out to be possible after all, because the old one decomposed
a unicode Char to multiple Word8s and encoded those. It should be faster
in some places, particularly in Git.Filename.encodeAlways.
The old version encoded all unicode by default as well as ascii control
characters and also '"'. The new one only encodes ascii control
characters by default.
That old behavior was visible in Utility.Format.format, which did escape
'"' when used in eg git-annex find --format='${escaped_file}\n'
So made sure to keep that working the same. Although the man page only
says it will escape "unusual" characters, so it might be able to be
changed.
Git.Filename.encodeAlways also needs to escape '"' ; that was the
original reason that was escaped.
Types.Transferrer I judge is ok to not escape '"', because the escaped
value is sent in a line-based protocol, which is decoded at the other
end by decode_c. So old git-annex and new will be fine whether that is
escaped or not, the result will be the same.
Note that when asked to escape a double quote, it is escaped to \"
rather than to \042. That's the same behavior as git has. It's
perhaps somehow more of a special case than it needs to be.

This speeds up a few things, notably CmdLine.Seek using Git.Filename
which uses decode_c and this avoids a conversion to String and back,
and probably the ByteString implementation of decode_c is also faster
for simple cases at least than the string version.
encode_c cannot be converted to ByteString (or if it did, it would have
to convert right back to String in order to handle unicode).

registerurl: When an url is claimed by a special remote other than the web,
update location tracking for that special remote.
registerurl's behavior was changed in commit
451171b7c1, apparently accidentially to not
update location tracking except for the web.
This makes registerurl followed by unregisterurl not be a no-op, when the
url happens to be claimed by a remote other than the web. It is a noop when
the url is unclaimed except by the web. I don't like the inconsistency,
and wish that registerurl and unregisterurl never updated location
tracking, which would be more in keeping with them being plumbing.
But there is the fact that it used to behave this way, and also it was
inconsistent that it updated location tracking for the web but not for
other remotes, unlike addurl. And there's an argument that the user might
not know what remote to expect to claim an url, so would be considerably in
the dark when using registerurl. (Although they have to know what content
gets downloaded, since they specify a key..)

This serves two purposes. --remote=web bypasses other special remotes that
claim the url, same as addurl --raw. And, specifying some other remote
allows making sure that an url is claimed by the remote you expect,
which makes then using setpresentkey not be fragile.

This reverts commit 66eb63dd82.
git-annex init is the only thing that uses ensureCommit. So overriding
there will make later commits to the git-annex branch or by git-annex sync
fail.
It's ugly that git-annex init sets user.name and user.email, but it only
does it on systems that are badly configured.
When it's set and git cannot determine user.name or user.email, this will
result in git-annex init failing when committing to create the git-annex
branch. Other git-annex commands that commit can also fail.

Avoid setting user.name and user.email in the git config when git is unable
to detect them.
git-annex has good reason to want to ensure git commit succeeds when eg
committing to the git-annex branch. But it's not playing nice to set these
values where other commands can see them.

Fix laziness bug introduced in last release that breaks use of
--unlock-present and --hide-missing adjusted branches.
Since there is a writeFile of the same file immediately after readFile, it
may still have the file open for read (or may have happened to read it
already and closed it).
I was not able to reproduce the problem in brief testing, but this seems
obvious.
