The purpose of this is to fix situations where the annex object file is
stored in a directory structure other than where annex symlinks point to.
But it will also move object files from the hashdirmixed back to
hashdirlower if the repo configuration makes that the normal location.
It would have been more work to avoid that than to let it do it.

It can be changed to 1 via a tuning, rather than the 2 this assumed. So
it would have tried to rmdir .git/annex/objects in that case, which
would not hurt anything, but is not what it is supposed to do.

If the content directory does not exist, then it does not make sense to
lock the content file, as it also does not exist, and so it's ok for the
lock operation to fail.
This avoids potential races where the content file exists but is then
deleted/renamed, while another process sees that it exists and goes to
lock it, resulting in a dangling lock file in an otherwise empty object
directory.
Also renamed modifyContent to modifyContentDir since it is not only
necessarily used for modifying content files, but also other files in
the content directory.

Commit 36133f27c0 had a boolean flip in it,
aaargh.
Special remotes with importtree=yes or exporttree=yes are once again
treated as untrusted, since files stored in them can be deleted or modified
at any time.

None of the special remotes do it yet, but this lays the groundwork.
Added MustFinishIncompleteVerify so that, when an incremental verify is
started but not complete, it can be forced to finish it. Otherwise, it
would have skipped doing it when verification is disabled, but
verification must always be done when retrievin from export remotes
since files can be modified during retrieval.
Note that retrieveExportWithContentIdentifier doesn't support incremental
verification yet. And I'm not sure if it can -- it doesn't know the Key
before it downloads the content. It seems a new API call would need to
be split out of that, which is provided with the key.

Added support for "megabit" and related bandwidth units in
annex.stalldetection and everywhere else that git-annex parses data units.
Note that the short form is "Mbit" not "Mb" because that differs from "MB"
only in case, and git-annex parses units case-insensitively. It would be
horrible if two different versions of git-annex parsed the same value
differently, so I don't think "Mb" can be supported.

Avoid treating refs/annex/last-index or other refs that are not commit
objects as evidence of repository corruption.
The repair code checks to find bad refs by trying to run `git log` on
them, and assumes that no output means something is broken. But git log
on a tree object is empty.
This was worth fixing generally, not as a special case, since it's certainly
possible that other things store tree or other objects in refs.

rsync 3.2.4 broke backwards-compatability by preventing exposing filenames
to the shell. Made the rsync and gcrypt special remotes detect this and
disable shellescape.
An alternative fix would have been to always set RSYNC_OLD_ARGS=1.
Which would avoid the overhead of probing rsync --help for each affected
remote. But that is really very fast to run, and it seemed better to switch
to the modern code path rather than keeping on using the bad old code path.
