Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking
for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not
noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options.
This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly
to how the matching options are handled.

The slightly unusual parsing in Types.GitConfig avoids the need to look
at the remote list to get configs of remotes. annexPrivateRepos combines
all the configs, and will only be calculated once, so it's nice and
fast.
privateUUIDsKnown and regardingPrivateUUID now need to read from the
annex mvar, so are not entirely free. But that overhead can be optimised
away, as seen in getJournalFileStale. The other call sites didn't seem
worth optimising to save a single MVar access. The feature should have
impreceptable speed overhead when not being used.
* Fix bug that could make git-annex importfeed not see recently recorded
state when configured with annex.alwayscommit=false.
* importfeed: Made "checking known urls" phase run 12 times faster.
The massive speedup is because it no longer queries for metadata
accompanying each url. Instead it processes the whole git-annex branch and
checks all metadata files for feed item ids, and uses any it finds.
This could result in a behavior change, in an unlikely situation: If a feed
id is recorded in a key's metadata, but the url gets removed, the old code
would not see that item id and would re-download it if it finds an url for
it in a feed, while the new code will see the item id. I don't think
the old behavior was intentional, and it may be that the new behavior is
better. Not gonna worry about this.
This only partly fixes importfeed to see journalled files, since it
separately cats metadata directly from the branch. Held off on a
changelog for a bug fix until that's dealt with.
