annex.dotfiles
The git add behavior changes could be avoided if it turns out to be
really annoying, but then it would need to behave the old way when
annex.dotfiles=false and the new way when annex.dotfiles=true. I'd
rather not have the config option result in such divergent behavior as
`git annex add .` skipping a dotfile (old) vs adding to annex (new).

Note that the assistant always adds dotfiles to the annex.
This is surprising, but not new behavior. Might be worth making it also
honor annex.dotfiles, but I wonder if perhaps some user somewhere uses
it and keeps large files in a directory that happens to begin with a
dot. Since dotfiles and dotdirs are a unix culture thing, and the
assistant users may not be part of that culture, it seems best to keep
its current behavior for now.

annex.addunlocked expressions
* annex.addunlocked can be set to an expression with the same format used by
  annex.largefiles, in case you want to default to unlocking some files but
  not others.
* annex.addunlocked can be configured by git-annex config.

Added a git-annex-matching-expression man page, broken out from
tips/largefiles.

A tricky consequence of this is that git-annex add --relaxed
honors annex.addunlocked, but an expression might want to know the size
or content of an url, which it's not going to download. I decided it was
better not to fail, and just dummy up some plausible data in that case.

Performance impact should be negligible. The global config is already
loaded for annex.largefiles. The expression only has to be parsed once,
and in the simple true/false case, it should not do any additional work
matching it.
