New command, currently limited to changing autoenable= setting of a special remote.
It will probably never be used for more than that given the limitations on
it.

enableremote: Support enableremote of a git remote (that was previously set
up with initremote) when additional parameters such as autoenable= are
passed.
The enableremote special case for regular git repos is intended to handle
ones that don't have a UUID probed, and the user wants git-annex to
re-probe. So, that special case is still needed. But, in that special
case, the user is not passing any extra parameters. So, when there are
parameters, instead run the special remote setup code. That requires there
to be a uuid known already, and it allows changing things like autoenable=
Remote.Git.enableRemote changed to be a no-op if a git remote with the name
already exists. Which it generally will in this case.

I'm on the fence about this. Notice that pulling from a git remote can
pull branches that have escape sequences in their names. Git will
display those as-is. Arguably git should try harder to avoid that.
But, names of remotes are usually up to the local user, and autoenable
changes that, and so it makes sense that git chooses to display control
characters in names of remotes, and so autoenable needs to guard against
it.

This does, as a side effect, make long notes in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset them
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

Converted warning and similar to use StringContainingQuotedPath. Most
warnings are static strings, some do refer to filepaths that need to be
quoted, and others don't need quoting.
Note that, since quote filters out control characters of even
UnquotedString, this makes all warnings safe, even when an attacker
sneaks in a control character in some other way.
When json is being output, no quoting is done, since json gets its own
quoting.
This does, as a side effect, make warning messages in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset warning messages
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

giveup changed to filter out control characters. (It is too low level to
make it use StringContainingQuotedPath.)
error still does not, but it should only be used for internal errors,
where the message is not attacker-controlled.
Changed a lot of existing error to giveup when it is not strictly an
internal error.
Of course, other exceptions can still be thrown, either by code in
git-annex, or a library, that include some attacker-controlled value.
This does not guard against those.

As well as escape sequences, control characters seem unlikely to be desired when
doing addurl, and likely to trip someone up. So disallow them as well.
I did consider going the other way and allowing filenames with control characters
and escape sequences, since git-annex is in the process of escaping display
of all filenames. Might still be a better idea?
Also display the illegal filename git quoted when it rejects it.

Added StringContainingQuotedPath, which is used for ActionItemOther.
In the process, checked every ActionItemOther for those containing
filenames, and made them use quoting.

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.

Support VERSION 2 in the external special remote protocol, which is
identical to VERSION 1, but avoids external remote programs neededing to
work around the above bug. External remote program that support
exporttree=yes are recommended to be updated to send VERSION 2.

Remote.Directory makes a temp file, then calls this, and since the temp
file exists, it prevented probing if CoW works.
Note that deleting the empty file does mean there's a small window for a
race. If another process is also exporting to the remote, that could let it
make the same temp file. However, the temp filename actually has the
processes's pid in it, which avoids that being a problem.
This may have been a reversion caused by commits around
63d508e885, but I haven't gone back and
tested to be sure. The directory special remote had supposedly supported
CoW for this going back to about half a year before that.

The temporary URL key used for the download, before the real key is
generated, was blocked by annex.securehashesonly.
Fixed by passing the Backend that will be used for the final key into
runTransfer. When a Backend is provided, have preCheckSecureHashes
check that, rather than the key being transferred.

view: Support annex.maxextensionlength when generating filenames for the
view branch.
Note that refining an existing view will reuse the extension length that was
configured when initially constructing the view. This is necessarily the case
because it reuses the filenames.
Also view files used to have all extensions at the end, no matter how
many there were. Since annex.maxextensionlength's documentation includes
that it's limited to 2 extensions, I made it consistent with that.

I don't know of scenarios where that can happen (besides the bug

Avoid failure to update adjusted branch --unlock-present after git-annex
drop when annex.adjustedbranchrefresh=1
At higher values, it did flush the queue, which ran restagePointerFiles.
But at 1, adjustedBranchRefreshFull gets added to the queue, and while
restagePointerFiles is also in the queue, it runs after that.
