* Switch to using .git/annex/othertmp for tmp files other than partial
downloads, and make stale files left in that directory when git-annex
is interrupted be cleaned up promptly by subsequent git-annex processes.
* The .git/annex/misctmp directory is no longer used and git-annex will
delete anything lingering in there after it's 1 week old.
Also, in Annex.Ingest, made the filename it uses in the tmp dir be
prefixed with "ingest-" to avoid potentially using a filename used by
some other code.
I tend to prefer moving toward explicit exception handling, not away from
it, but in this case, I think there are good reasons to let checkPresent
throw exceptions:
1. They can all be caught in one place (Remote.hasKey), and we know
every possible exception is caught there now, which we didn't before.
2. It simplified the code of the Remotes. I think it makes sense for
Remotes to be able to be implemented without needing to worry about
catching exceptions inside them. (Mostly.)
3. Types.StoreRetrieve.Preparer can only work on things that return a
Bool, which all the other relevant remote methods already did.
I do not see a good way to generalize that type; my previous attempts
failed miserably.
Make the byteRetriever be passed the callback that consumes the bytestring.
This way, there's no worries about the lazy bytestring not all being read
when the resource that's creating it is closed.
Which in turn lets bup, ddar, and S3 each switch from using an unncessary
fileRetriver to a byteRetriever. So, more efficient on chunks and encrypted
files.
The only remaining fileRetrievers are hook and external, which really do
retrieve to files.
The forall a. in Preparer made resourcePrepare not seem to be usable, so
I specialized a to Bool. Which works for both Preparer Storer and
Preparer Retriever, but wouldn't let the Preparer be used for hasKey
as it currently stands.
Some remotes like External need to run store and retrieve actions in Annex,
not IO. In order to do that lift, I had to dive pretty deep into the
utilities, making Utility.Gpg and Utility.Tmp be partly converted to using
MonadIO, and Control.Monad.Catch for exception handling.
There should be no behavior changes in this commit.

This will allow things like WebDAV to opean a single persistent connection
and reuse it for all the chunked data.
The crazy types allow for some nice code reuse.
I'd have liked to keep these two concepts entirely separate,
but that are entagled: Storing a key in an encrypted and chunked remote
need to generate chunk keys, encrypt the keys, chunk the data, encrypt the
chunks, and send them to the remote. Similar for retrieval, etc.
So, here's an implemnetation of all of that.
The total win here is that every remote was implementing encrypted storage
and retrival, and now it can move into this single place. I expect this
to result in several hundred lines of code being removed from git-annex
eventually!
