nukeFile replaced with removeWhenExistsWith removeLink, which allows
using RawFilePath. Utility.Directory cannot use RawFilePath since setup
does not depend on posix.

Had to split out some modules because getWorkingDirectory needs unix,
which is not a build-dep of configure.

hardlinks happened to work because it was a hard link to a symlink, but
it would have failed if eg git-annex-shell symlink did not exist,
perhaps because the Makefile was not run to build it. Or something like
that. Also, it seems like it worked by accident and the Makefile used to
ln -s.
This includes making Build.Standalone run LinuxMkLibs or OSXMkLibs
rather than doing that separately. Which is groundwork for a later
optimisation.
Also it simplified the code some.
Reduce the number of directories listed in libdirs, which makes the linker
check a lot less dead ends looking for directories.
Eliminated some directories that didn't really contain shared libraries,
or only contained the linker.
That left only 2, one in lib and one in usr/lib, so consolidate those two.
Doing it this way, rather than just consolidating all libs that might exist
into a single directory means that, if there are optimised versions of some
libs, eg in lib/subarch/foo.so, and lib/subarch2/foo.so, they don't get
moved around in a way that would make the linker pick the wrong one.
So that binaries in that directory can find the library next to them,
where they get modified to look.
This is a hack; it would be better for OSXMkLibs to build a list of what
libraries are needed where.
Unsure if this is needed due to a recent reversion, or is an older
problem, so updated changelog accordingly.
Putting the binaries in bundle/git-core/bin didn't work on OSX,
linker can't find the libraries next to those binaries where it expects to.
So instead put the binaries in the progDir.
Homebrew now has eg:
datalads-imac:~ joey$ ls -l /Users/joey/homebrew/Cellar/git/2.23.0/libexec/git-core
total 36776
lrwxr-xr-x 1 joey staff 13 Aug 29 13:38 git -> ../../bin/git
lrwxr-xr-x 1 joey staff 13 Aug 29 13:38 git-add -> ../../bin/git
So the target of the symlink also needs to be installed now.
Doing it in shell code was too hairy for my dentistry-addled brain, so
reimplemented in haskell. Also using it for building linuxstandalone.
This allows the rpm to be built anywhere the necessary build deps are
available (including on debian) and the resulting package will work on as
broad a range of rpm distributions as the libc/kernel supports.
The DistributionUpdate changes to use the new script have not yet been
tested.
debian oldoldstable has 2.1, and that's what i386ancient uses. It would be
better to require git 2.2, which is needed to use adjusted branches, but
can't do that w/o losing support for some old linux kernels or a
complicated git backport.
I saw the installer not defaulting to any installation directory,
and I had to manually enter C:\Program Files\Git
Maybe it was choosing gitInstallDir32, and that was empty? Or the
conditional somehow failed. Simplifying so it will hopefully work again.
rsync is only needed for rsync special remotes and git-annex-shell from
Debian oldstable. Since the library situation on windows for rsync required
a particular 32 bit build of git for it to work, and may also somehow need
git-annex to be 32 bit build, it's better to not include it.
