This should make == comparison of UUIDs somewhat faster, and perhaps a
few other operations around maps of UUIDs etc.
FromUUID/ToUUID are used to convert String, which is still used for all
IO of UUIDs. Eventually the hope is those instances can be removed,
and all git-annex branch log files etc use ByteString throughout, for a
real speed improvement.
Note the use of fromRawFilePath / toRawFilePath -- while a UUID usually
contains only alphanumerics and so could be treated as ascii, it's
conceivable that some git-annex repository has been initialized using
a UUID that is not only not a canonical UUID, but contains high unicode
or invalid unicode. Using the filesystem encoding avoids any problems
with such a thing. However, a NUL in a UUID seems extremely unlikely,
so I didn't use encodeBS / decodeBS to avoid their extra overhead in
handling NULs.
The Read/Show instance for UUID luckily serializes the same way for
ByteString as it did for String.
It used to display the "bad feed content" message indicating there were no
enclosures found, which was misleading when the http request for the feed
failed.

ghc warned that the guards did not cover all values of h, but they
clearly do, and when rewritten as a case statement the warning goes
away.
Probably a ghc bug, but I kind of prefer the case statement over the
guards anyway.
downloadUrl uses meteredFile, which sets up one progress meter,
and Remote.Web also uses metered, so two progress meters are displayed for
the same download.
Reversion introduced with the http-conduit switch in
c34152777b -- I don't know why the extra
call to metered was added there.
When -J is not used, the extra progress meter didn't display,
but an extra blank line did get output, which is also fixed.
