WIP: This is mostly complete, but there is a problem: createDirectoryUnder
throws an error when annex.dbdir is set to outside the git repo.
annex.dbdir is a workaround for filesystems where sqlite does not work,
due to eg, the filesystem not properly supporting locking.
It's intended to be set before initializing the repository. Changing it
in an existing repository can be done, but would be the same as making a
new repository and moving all the annexed objects into it. While the
databases get recreated from the git-annex branch in that situation, any
information that is in the databases but not stored in the branch gets
lost. It may be that no information ever gets stored in the databases
that cannot be reconstructed from the branch, but I have not verified
that.

Since it was used on both worktree and .git/annex files, split into
multiple functions.
In passing, this also improves permissions of created directories in
.git/annex, using createAnnexDirectory on those.
Prevents merging the import from deleting the non-preferred files from
the branch it's merged into.
adjustTree previously appended the new list of items to the old, which
could result in it generating a tree with multiple files with the same
name. That is not good and confuses some parts of git. Gave it a
function to resolve such conflicts.
That allowed dealing with the problem of what happens when the import
contains some files (or subtrees) with the same name as files that were
filtered out of the export. The files from the import win.
The smuge filter no longer provides git with annexed file content, to
avoid a git memory leak, and because that did not honor annex.thin.
git annex smudge --update has to be run after a checkout to update
unlocked files in the working tree with annexed file contents.
No hooks yet to run it.

Fix more places where files in .git/annex/ were written with modes that
did not take the core.sharedRepository config into account.

git grep writeFile finds some more that might also be problems, but
for now I've concentrated on .git/annex/ log files. There are certianly
cases where writeFile is not a problem too.
