autoEnableSpecialRemotes runs a subprocess, and if the uuid for a git
remote has not been probed yet, that will do a http get that will prompt
for a password. And then the parent process will subsequently prompt
for a password when getting annexed files from the remote.
So the solution is for autoEnableSpecialRemotes to run remoteList before
the subprocess, which will probe for the uuid for the git remote in the
same process that will later be used to get annexed files.
But, Remote.Git imports Annex.Init, and Remote.List imports Remote.Git,
so Annex.Init cannot import Remote.List. Had to pass remoteList into
functions in Annex.Init to get around this dependency loop.
When accessing a git remote over http needs a git credential prompt for a
password, cache it for the lifetime of the git-annex process, rather than
repeatedly prompting.
The git-lfs special remote already caches the credential when discovering
the endpoint. And presumably commands like git pull do as well, since they
may download multiple urls from a remote.
The TMVar CredentialCache is read, so two concurrent calls to
getBasicAuthFromCredential will both prompt for a credential.
There would already be two concurrent password prompts in such a case,
and existing uses of `prompt` probably avoid it. Anyway, it's no worse
than before.
Trick the linker into not doing unncessary work searching for optimised
libraries that are not present, by symlinking the directories where
optimised libs would be to the main lib dir.
This reduces the ENOENT of git-annex init by about 1/2. The linker always
finds the files where it looks first time now. I have not looked at what
the wall clock speedup might be, it's probably rather small.
If a x86-64-v5 comes to be, the list will need to be extended. And there
may be other directories used on some machines that I have missed. Not done
for arm64 yet, or any uncommon architectures.

Remove closed bugs and todos that were last edited or commented before 2021.
Except for ones tagged projects/* since projects like datalad want to keep
around records of old deleted bugs longer.

This is intended for users who want to see what it would output in order to
eg, check if a file would be added to git or the annex. It is not intended
as a way for scripts to get information.
