when storing files there, since that collection is created by initremote.
(This seems to work around some brokenness of the box.com webdav server
which was entering a redirect loop.)
Note that the fix makes locationParent return Nothing instead of "."
when there's no parent directory between the path and the top of the webdav
repo.

In my git-annex repos, I found some stale transfer info files
without lock files.
Pass a mode to tryLockExclusive, so it will create the lock file if
not present, and so not fail to clean up such transfer info files.
Normally, transfer info files are accompanied by a lock file.
But, when alwaysRunTransfer is used, the locking can fail
and it will still write the transfer info file. Perhaps there are other
cases too? Note that mkProgressUpdater's meter
writes to the transfer info file too, and it might be possible for
that meter to fire after runTransfer has cleaned up.

Fix process and file descriptor leak that was exposed when git-annex was
built with ghc 8.2.1. Apparently ghc has changed its behavior of GC
of open file handles that are pipes to running processes. That
broke git-annex test on OSX due to running out of FDs.
Audited for all uses of Annex.new and made stopCoProcesses be called
once it's done with the state. Fixed several places that might have
leaked in other situations than running the test suite.
