After recent changes to use OsPath, test suite fails on windows with:
Exception: Uneven number of bytes: 5. This is not a Word16 bytestream.
Hopefully this fixes it. The innefficiency of the conversion is
unfortunate.
Taking a ShortByteString and using OverloadedStrings should avoid it
being converted from a String.
The reason there is no IsString instance for OsPath is presumably the
bad behavior of IsString for ByteString on unicode btw. But
literalOsPath won't be used with unicode in git-annex.

It seems to make sense to convert both System.Directory and
System.FilePath uses to OsPath in one go. This will generally look like
replacing RawFilePath with OsPath in type signatures, and will be driven
by the now absolutely massive pile of compile errors.
Got a few modules building in this new regime.

This removes that function, using file-io readFile' instead.
Had to deal with newline conversion, which readFileStrict does on
Windows. In a few cases, that was pretty ugly to deal with.

In 793ddecd4b, writeSshConfig was made to
writeFile a ByteString, which lost the newline conversion on Windows.
Added linesFile to fix it. This will also be useful for other writeFile
conversions.
Now that truncateFilePath and relatedTemplate have both been optimised,
may as well use them in replaceFile, rather than the custom hack it
used.
Removed the windows-specific ifdef as well, because on Windows long
filepaths no longer really a problem, since ghc and git-annex use UNC
converted paths.
replaceFile no longer checks fileNameLengthLimit. That took a syscall,
and since we have an existing file, we know filenames of its length are
supported by the filesystem. Assuming that the withOtherTmp directory is
on the same filesystem as the file replaceFile is being called on, which
I believe it is.

Often the filepath will be all ascii, or mostly so, and this
optimisation makes a file that has an ascii suffix of sufficient length
be roundtrip converted between String and ByteString only once, rather
than once per character.

And follow-on changes.
Note that relatedTemplate was changed to operate on a RawFilePath, and
so when it counts the length, it is now the number of bytes, not the
number of code points. This will just make it truncate shorter strings
in some cases, the truncation is still unicode aware.
When not building with the OsPath flag, toOsPath . fromRawFilePath and
fromRawFilePath . fromOsPath do extra conversions back and forth between
String and ByteString. That overhead could be avoided, but that's the
non-optimised build mode, so didn't bother.

By using System.Directory.OsPath, which takes and returns OsString,
which is a ShortByteString. So, things like dirContents currently have the
overhead of copying that to a ByteString, but that should be less than
the overhead of using Strings which often in turn were converted to
RawFilePaths.
Added Utility.OsString and the OsString build flag. That flag is turned
on in the stack.yaml, and will be turned on automatically by cabal when
built with new enough libraries. The stack.yaml change is a bit ugly,
and that could be reverted for now if it causes any problems.
Note that Utility.OsString.toOsString on windows is avoiding only a
check of encoding that is documented as being unlikely to fail. I don't
think it can fail in git-annex; if it could, git-annex didn't contain
such an encoding check before, so at worst that should be a wash.
* Removed the i386ancient standalone tarball build for linux, which
was increasingly unable to support new git-annex features.
* Removed support for building with ghc older than 9.0.2,
and with older versions of haskell libraries than are in current Debian
stable.
* stack.yaml: Update to lts-23.2.
Note that i386ancient was targeting linux 2.6.32, which has been EOL for
over 9 years now. Any old system still using such a kernel is certainly highly
insecure. And I suspect i386ancient had its own insecurities due to haskell
libraries and C libraries not having been updated.
This bypasses the usual haskell file locking used to prevent opening a
file for read that is being written to.
This is unfortunately a bit of a hack. But it seems fairly unlikely to
get broken by changes to ghc. I hope. Using fdToHandle' will also work.
This does not work on windows because it uses openFd from posix. It
would probably be possible to implement it for windows too, just opening
the FD using the Win32 library instead. However, whether windows will
allow reading from a file that is also being written to I don't know,
and since in the git-annex case the writer could be another process (eg
external special remote), that might be doing its own locking in
windows, that seems a can of worms I'd prefer not to open.
Detect when a preferred content expression contains "not present", which
would lead to repeatedly getting and then dropping files, and make it never
match. This also applies to "not balanced" and "not sizebalanced".
--explain will tell the user when this happens
Note that getMatcher calls matchMrun' and does not check for unstable
negated limits. While there is no --present anyway, if there was,
it would not make sense for --not --present to complain about
instability and fail to match.
