Since the same key can be stored in a versioned S3 bucket multiple times
with different version IDs, this allows tracking them all. Not currently
needed, but if we ever want to drop from a versioned S3 bucket, we'll
need to know them all.

Actually very straightforward reuse of the metadata log file code.
Although I had to add a todo item as git-annex forget won't clean up
dead remote's metadata yet.
This would be worth adding to the external special remote interface
sometime. Have not opened a todo though, guess I'll wait until something
needs it.

Have to store the S3 object along with the version ID, so retrieval can
use the same object.

Only done when versioning=yes is configured. It could always do it when
S3 sends back a version id, but there may be buckets that have
versioning enabled by accident, so it seemed better to honor the
configuration.
S3's docs say version IDs are "randomly generated", so presumably
storing the same content twice gets two different ones not the same one.
So I considered storing a list of version IDs for a key. That would
allow removing the key completely. But.. The way Logs.RemoteState works,
when there are multiple writers, the last writer wins. So storing a list
would need a different log format that merges, which seemed overkill to support
removing a key from an append-only remote.
Note that Logs.RemoteState for S3 is now dedicated to version IDs.
If something else needs to be stored, a new log will be needed to do it.

Make exporttree=yes remotes that are appendonly not be untrusted, and not force
verification of content, since the usual concerns about losing data when an
export is updated by someone else don't apply.
Note that all the remote operations on keys are left as usual for
appendonly export remotes, except for storing content.

Make git-annex sync and the assistant skip trying to drop from appendonly
remotes since it's just going to fail.
git-annex drop and similar commands will still try to drop from
appendonly, so the user will see failure messages when they try to do
that. To do otherwise would be confusing since the user has explicitly
asked for a drop with those commands.

Make `git annex export` check appendonly when removing a file from an
export, and not update the location log, since the remote still contains
the content.

Does nothing yet.
Considered making bup readonly, but while the content can't be removed,
it is able to delete a branch, so didn't.
