git-annex init on the sdcard will now create a v7 adjusted unlocked
repo. While the assistant does still set up direct mode, that's not
because of /sdcard being a crippled filesystem.
This is safe, because while the annex object ends up executable,
there were already at least two other cases where it ended up executable:
1. git add an an executable file
2. chmod +x of a a non-executable worktree file that was hard linked to the
annex object
After copy/hard link, it always fixes up the permissions to match the mode
of the worktree file, so when an executable annex object gets hard linked
to a non-executable worktree file, its execute bit gets removed.
Commit b7c8bf5274 already *said* it would do
this; I suspect the line of code I've removed was included in that commit
accidentially.
Also improves annex.thin documentation.

This makes --version=6 still work, despite v6 not being in
supportedVersions. Which is useful for scripts that use it.
I didn't document it on the man page, because it's indistinguishable
from an automatic upgrade after initting as v6.
It's auto-upgraded to 5, so does not need to be listed there.
Let's keep supportedVersions for versions that git-annex will actually
use without autoupgrading or demanding an upgrade.
init: When in a crippled filesystem, initialize a v7 repository using an
adjusted unlocked branch, instead of a direct mode repository.
Direct mode is deprecated, so this makes sense to do already I hope.

Install new git hooks in this version.
This does beg the question of what to do if git later gets eg a
post-smudge hook, that could run git-annex smudge --update. I think the
thing to do in that case would be to make git-annex smudge --update
install the new hooks. That way, as the user uses git-annex, the hook
would be created pretty quickly and without needing any extra syscalls
except for when git-annex smudge --update is called.
I considered doing something like that for installation of the
post-checkout and post-merge hooks, which would have avoided the need
for v7. But the only place it was cheap to do it would be in git-annex smudge
which could cheaply notice that smudge.log didn't exist yet and so know
the hooks needed to be installed. But since smudge used to populate pointer
files, it would be quite surprising if a single git checkout/merge failed
to update the work tree, and so that idea didn't work out.
The other reason for v7 is psychological -- users don't need to worry
about whether they might be running an old version of git-annex that
doesn't support their v7 repository very well. And bug reports about
"v6" have gotten a bit of a bad association in my head since they often
hit one of the known limitations and didn't realize it was experimental.
newtyped RepoVersion Int to avoid needing 2 comparisons in
versionSupportsUnlockedPointers etc. Also it's just nicer.

Usually, git won't run clean filter when a file is unmodified. But, when
git checkout runs git annex smudge --update, it populates the pointer
runs git update-index, which sees the file has changed and runs
git annex smudge --clean, which was checksumming the file unncessarily
as it re-ingested it.
With annex.thin set, this is the difference between git checkout of a
branch with a 1 gb file taking 30s and 0.1s.

* init, upgrade: Install git post-checkout and post-merge hooks that run
git annex smudge --update.
* precommit: Run git annex smudge --update, because the post-merge
hook is not run when there is a merge conflict. So the work tree will
be updated when a commit is made to resolve the merge conflict.
* precommit: Run git annex smudge --update, because the post-merge
hook is not run when there is a merge conflict. So the work tree will
be updated when a commit is made to resolve the merge conflict.
* Note that git has no hooks run after git stash or git cherry-pick,
so the user will have to manually run git annex smudge --update
after such commands.
Nothing currently installs the hooks into v6 repos that already exist.
Something will need to be done about that, either move this behavior to v7,
or document that the user will need to manually fix up their v6 repos.

The smuge filter no longer provides git with annexed file content, to
avoid a git memory leak, and because that did not honor annex.thin.
git annex smudge --update has to be run after a checkout to update
unlocked files in the working tree with annexed file contents.
No hooks yet to run it.
