When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.
Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Remote.S3 and Remote.Helper.Http both had similar code to sink a
http-conduit Response to a file; refactor out sinkResponseFile.
downloadC downloads an url to a file using http-conduit, and supports
resuming. Falls back to curl to handle urls that http-conduit does not
support. This is not used yet, but the goal is to replace download with
it.
git-annex.cabal: conduit-extra was not actually used for a long time,
remove the dep. conduit moves into the main dependency list, but since
http-conduit was already in there, and it depends on conduit, that's not
really adding a new build dep.

ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

Avoid using fileSize which maxes out at just 2 gb on Windows.
Instead, use hFileSize, which doesn't have a bounded size.
Fixes support for files > 2 gb on Windows.
Note that the InodeCache code only needs to compare a file size,
so it doesn't matter it the file size wraps. So it has been
left as-is. This was necessary both to avoid invalidating existing inode
caches, and because the code passed FileStatus around and would have become
more expensive if it called getFileSize.

Unfortunately, I don't fully understand why it was leaking using the old
method of a lazy bytestring. I just know that it was leaking, despite
neither hGetUntilMetered nor byteStringPopper seeming to leak by
themselves.
The new method avoids the lazy bytestring, and simply reads chunks from the
handle and streams them out to the http socket.
Fixes the memory leak on store.. the second oldest open git-annex bug!
Only retrieve remains to be converted.
