This method avoids breaking test_readonly. Just check if the dest file
exists, and avoid CoW probing when it does, so when CoW probing fails,
it can resume where the previous non-CoW copy left off.
If CoW has been probed already to work, delete the dest file
since a CoW copy will presumably work. It seems like it would be almost
as good to just skip CoW copying in this case too, but consider that the
dest file might have started to be copied from some other remote, not
using CoW, but CoW has been probed to work to copy from the current
place.

commit 63d508e885 broke test_readonly.
When a local git remote is readonly, tryCopyCoW run to copy a file
from it failed at withOtherTmp.

Probably this fixes a reversion, but I don't know what version broke it.
This does use withOtherTmp for a temp file that could be quite large.
Though albeit a reflink copy that will not actually take up any space
as long as the file it was copied from still exists. So if the copy cow
succeeds but git-annex is interrupted just before that temp file gets
renamed into the usual .git/annex/tmp/ location, there is a risk that
the other temp directory ends up cluttered with a larger temp file than
later. It will eventually be cleaned up, and the changes of this being
a problem are small, so this seems like an acceptable thing to do.

IncrementalVerifier moved to Utility.Hash, which will let Utility.Url
use it later.
It's perhaps not really specific to hashing, but making a separate
module just for the data type seemed unncessary.

Added fileRetriever', which will let the remaining special remotes
eventually also support incremental verify.

The goal is that Database.Keys be able to use it; it can't use
Annex.Content.Presence due to an import loop.
Several other things also needed to be moved to Annex.Verify as a
conseqence.
Transfers from or to a local git repo could fail without a reason being
given, if the content failed to verify, or if the object file's stat
changed while it was being copied. Now display messages in these cases.
