While redundant concurrent transfers were already prevented in most
cases, it failed to prevent the case where two different repositories were
sending the same content to the same repository. By removing the uuid
from the transfer lock file for Download transfers, one repository
sending content will block the other one from also sending the same
content.
In order to interoperate with old git-annex, the old lock file is still
locked, as well as locking the new one. That added a lot of extra code
and work, and the plan is to eventually stop locking the old lock file,
at some point in time when an old git-annex process is unlikely to be
running at the same time.
Note that in the case of 2 repositories both doing eg
`git-annex copy foo --to origin`
the output is not that great:
copy b (to origin...)
transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock
git-annex: transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock
97% 966.81 MiB 534 GiB/s 0sp2pstdio: 1 failed
Lost connection (fd:14: hPutBuf: resource vanished (Broken pipe))
Transfer failed
Perhaps that output could be cleaned up? Anyway, it's a lot better than letting
the redundant transfer happen and then failing with an obscure error about
a temp file, which is what it did before. And it seems users don't often
try to do this, since nobody ever reported this bug to me before.
(The "97%" there is actually how far along the *other* transfer is.)

If the lock file was not able to be exclusivlely locked, don't indicate
locking failed. I'm pretty sure this was a typo. It goes all the way
back to 891c85cd88 where locking was first
introduced on windows, and there's no indication of why it would make
sense to return True here.

A recent change made plumbing the backend through fsck unncessary.
Left fsck checking backend and skipping operating on key when it could
not find one, although I'm not sure if that's necessary to support eg,
keys with unknown backend.
When a file in the export is renamed, and the remote's renameExport
returned Nothing, renaming to the temp file would first say it was
renaming, and appear to succeed, but actually what it did was delete the
file. Then renaming from the temp file would not do anything, since the
temp file is not present on the remote. This appeared as if a file got
renamed to a temp file and left there.
Note that exporttree=yes importree=yes remotes have their usual
renameExport replaced with one that returns Nothing. (For reasons
explained in Remote.Helper.ExportImport.) So this happened
even with remotes that support renameExport.
Fix by letting renameExport = Nothing when it's not supported at all.
This avoids displaying the rename.

What this can currently be used for is only to change an url from being
used by a special remote to being used by the web remote.
This could have been a --move-from option to registerurl. But, that would
have complicated its option and --batch processing, and also would have
complicated unregisterurl, which is implemented on top of
Command.Registerurl. So, a separate command was actually less complicated
to implement.
The generic description of the command is because I want to make this
command a catch-all for other url updating kind of things, if there are
ever any more. Also because it was hard to come up with a good name for the
specific action. I considered `git-annex moveurl`, but that seems to
indicate data is perhaps actually being moved, and seems to sit at the same
level as addurl and rmurl, and this command is at the plumbing
level of registerurl and unregisterurl.
