When setting up a remote on a ssh server, prompt for a password inside the
webapp, rather than relying on ssh's own password prompting in the terminal
the webapp was started from, or ssh-askpass.
Avoids double prompting for the ssh password (and triple-prompting on
windows for rsync.net), since the entered password is cached for 10 minutes
and this cached password is reused when setting up the repository, after
the initial probe.
When the user has an existing ssh key set up, they can choose to use it,
rather than entering a password. The webapp used to probe for this case
automatically, so this is a little harder, but it's an advanced user thing.
Note that this commit is known to break enabling existing rsync
repositories. It hs not been tested with gcrypt repositories. It's not been
successfully tested yet on Windows.

* webapp: Support using git-annex on a remote server, which was installed
from the standalone tarball or OSX app, and so does not have
git-annex in PATH (and may also not have git or rsync in PATH).
* standalone tarball, OSX app: Install a ~/.ssh/git-annex-wrapper, which
can be used to run git-annex, git, rsync, etc.
To do so, I slightly changed the behavior of unannex. Now in fast mode, it
only makes a hard link when the annexed file's link count is 1. This avoids
unannexing 2 files with the same content in fast mode from hard linking
them together. (One will end up hard linked to the annex, which the docs
warn about.)
With that change, uninit can simply always run unannex in fast mode. Since
.git/annex/objects is being blown away anyway, there's no worry in this
case about a hard link pointing into it causing an annexed object to be
modified.
For sync, saves 1 ssh connection per remote. For remotedaemon, the same
ssh connection that is already open to run git-annex-shell notifychanges
is reused to pull from the remote.
Only potential problem is that this also enables connection caching
when the assistant syncs with a ssh remote. Including the sync it does
when a network connection has just come up. In that case, cached ssh
connections are likely to be stale, and so using them would hang.
Until I'm sure such problems have been dealt with, this commit needs to
stay on the remotecontrol branch, and not be merged to master.

Code was still buggy, it turns out (though the recursion checker caught
it). In the case of (Schedule (Monthly Nothing) AnyTime), where the last
run was on yyyy-12-31, it looped forever.
Also, the handling of (Schedule (Yearly Nothing) AnyTime) was wacky where
the last run was yyyy-12-31. It would suggest a window starting on the 3rd
for the next run (because 31 mod 28 is 3).
I think that originally I was wanted to avoid running on 01-01 if it had
just run on 12-31. But the code didn't accomplish this, and it's not
necessary anyway. This is supposed to calculate the next window meeting the
schedule, and for (Schedule (Monthly Nothing), the window starts at 01-01
and runs through 01-31. If that causes two back-to-back runs, well the next
one will not be until 02-01 at the earliest.
Also, back-to-back runs can be avoided, if desired, by using Divisible 2.
a ssh remote, and pulls.
XMPP is no longer needed in this configuration!
Requires the remote server have git-annex-shell with notifychanges support.

This will be used by the remote-daemon to quickly tell when changes have
been pushed from some other repository into a ssh remote.
Adjusted the remote-daemon protocol to communicate changed shas, rather
than git branch refs. This way, it can easily check if a sha is new.

This includes checking when dropping files that any required content
configuration is satisfied. However, it does not yet include an active
check on the required content; the location log is trusted when checking
the required content expression.
Version 5.20140227 broke creation of glacier repositories, not including
the datacenter and vault in their configuration. This bug is fixed, but
glacier repositories set up with the broken version of git-annex need to
have the datacenter and vault set in order to be usable. This can be done
using git annex enableremote to add the missing settings. For details, see
