This matches the behavior of git on Windows, which does not end lines with
CR either.
Previously, git-annex used to always write lines with putStrLn, so would
output CR on Windows. Then parts of it changed to use ByteString.putStrLn,
which does not output CR. That left its output inconsistent, sometimes
within the same command.
The point of this commit is to get back to consistency. Having the same
behavior as git is a nice bonus. It would be much harder to make it
consistently output CR, because every place it uses ByteString.putStrLn or
similar would need to be changed.

In particular, the mergedrefs file was written with CR added to each line,
but read without CRLF handling. This resulted in each update of the file
adding CR to each line in it, growing the number of lines, while also
preventing the optimisation from working, so it remerged unncessarily.
writeFile and readFile do NewlineMode translation on Windows. But the
ByteString conversion prevented that from happening any longer.
I've audited for other cases of this, and found three more
(.git/annex/index.lck, .git/annex/ignoredrefs, and .git/annex/import/). All
of those also only prevent optimisations from working. Some other files are
currently both read and written with ByteString, but old git-annex may have
written them with NewlineMode translation. Other files are at risk for
breakage later if the reader gets converted to ByteString.
This is a minimal fix, but should be enough, as long as I remember to use
fileLines when splitting a ByteString into lines. This leaves files written
using ByteString without CR added, but that's ok because old git-annex has
no difficulty reading such files.
When the mergedrefs file has gotten lines that end with "\r\r\r\n", this
will eventually clean it up. Each update will remove a single trailing CR.
Note that S8.lines is still used in eg Command.Unused, where it is parsing
git show-ref, and similar in Git/*. git commands don't include CR in their
output so that's ok.

Otherwise, it could have buffered output that was displayed after the
summary. I started seeing that on my 12 core laptop, probably due to the
increased amount of concurrency.
Also seems possible, that, since the summary did exit, it might have
prevented displaying buffered output sometimes, or had other bad
results.
Minor optimisation, but a win in every case, except for a couple where
it's a wash.
Note that replaceFile still takes a FilePath, because it needs to
operate on Chars to truncate unicode filenames properly.
Note that the use of s2w8 in genUUIDInNameSpace made it truncate unicode
characters. Luckily, genUUIDInNameSpace is only ever used on ASCII
strings as far as I can determine. In particular, git-remote-gcrypt's
gcrypt-id is an ASCII string.
Note the use of fromString and toString from Data.ByteString.UTF8 dated
back to commit 9b93278e8a. Back then it
was using the dataenc package for base64, which operated on Word8 and
String. But with the switch to sandi, it uses ByteString, and indeed
fromB64' and toB64' were already using ByteString without that
complication. So I think there is no risk of such an encoding related
breakage.
I also tested the case that 9b93278e8a
fixed:
git-annex metadata -s foo='a …' x
git-annex metadata x
metadata x
foo=a …
In Remote.Helper.Encryptable, it was avoiding using Utility.Base64
because of that UTF8 conversion. Since that's no longer done, it can
just use it now.
Avoid conversion from ByteString to String for urls that will just be
converted right back to ByteString to go into the database.
Also setTempUrl is not used by importfeed, so avoid checking for temp
urls in this code path.
This benchmarks as only a small improvement. From 2.99s to 2.78s
when populating a database with 33k urls.
Note that it does not seem worth replacing URLString with URLByteString
generally, because the ways urls are used all entails either parseURI,
which takes a string, or passing a parameter to eg curl, which also is
currently a string.

This does not improve Annex.Branch.files at all, since it still uses ++ to
combine the lists, so forcing all but the last one.
But when there are a lot of files in the private journal, it does avoid
--all (or a bare repo) from buffering the filenames in memory.
See commit 653b719472 for prior discussion of
this buffering.

importfeed: Use caching database to avoid needing to list urls on every
run, and avoid using too much memory.
Benchmarking in my podcasts repo, importfeed got 1.42 seconds faster,
and memory use dropped from 203000k to 59408k.
Database.ImportFeed is Database.ContentIdentifier with the serial number
filed off. There is a bit of code duplication I would like to avoid,
particularly recordAnnexBranchTree, and getAnnexBranchTree. But these use
the persistent sqlite tables, so despite the code being the same, they
cannot be factored out.
Since this database includes the contentidentifier metadata, it will be
slightly redundant if a sqlite database is ever added for metadata. I
did consider making such a generic database and using it for this. But,
that would then need importfeed to update both the url database and the
metadata database, which is twice as much work diffing the git-annex
branch trees. Or would entagle updating two databases in a complex way.
So instead it seems better to optimise the database that
importfeed needs, and if the metadata database is used by another command,
use a little more disk space and do a little bit of redundant work to
update it.

The crash occurred because writeCreds got called twice, and writeFileProtected
neglected to close its file handle, so the file was open for write when
written the second time.
It seems unncessary and suboptimal that writeCreds gets called twice.
One call is from getRemoteCredPair and the other from setRemoteCredPair'.
What happens is that in the enableremote case, code that also runs at
initremote does unncessary work. Might be possible to improve that, but
I've gone for the simple fix.
