Because when git-annex lacks S3 version IDs for files stored in the bucket,
deleting them would cause data loss.
Also because git-annex is not able to download unversioned objects from a bucket
when versioning=yes.
This also prevents setting versioning=no. While that would perhaps be
possible to do safely, it would add complexity, and would mean that if
the user accidentially did enableremote versioning=no, they would not be
able to undo it.

Needs not yet released version 0.22 of aws library; with older versions
asks the user to configure the bucket versioning themselves.
Note that S3 endpoints that don't support versioning will cause putBucketVersioning
to throw an exception, so initremote will fail.

webdav support is going away at the end of this January.
* webapp: Remove configurator for gitlab, which stopped supporting git-annex
some time ago.

I am very doubtful that commit 613e747d91
was right about this doing anything, and I've verified that without it,
ctrl-c sends sigINT to child processes, and git-annex get does not
continue to the next item.
It seems likely that the real problem back then was something catching
the async exception.
Hard to see how installing a default signal handler could cause any
change from default behavior either.
One reason to want to get rid of this cruft now is that tasty has a
sigINT handler of its own, and this would override it.
(Tasty is not currently setting that handler up the way git-annex uses
it, due to a problem in tasty, but that will hopefully change.)
