When setting metadata of a file that did not exist, no error message was
displayed, unlike getting metadata and most other git-annex commands. Fixed
this oversight.
Note that, if the file exists but is not annexed, there's no error.
This is the same behavior as other git-annex commands.

See my comment. This only avoids the problem for -J; two git-annex
processes started at the same time could still both try to write to
.git/config and one fail. That would be very unlikely though, and it
doesn't really seem worth adding an additional layer of locking around
.git/config.

orElse is great, but was not the right thing to use here because
waitTakeLock could retry for other reasons than the lock being held,
which made tryTakeLock fail when it shouldn't.
Instead, move the code to tryTakeLock and implement waitTakeLock using
tryTakeLock and retry.
(Also, in runTransfer, when checkSaneLock fails, dropLock to avoid leaking a
lock handle.)

When built with concurrent-output 1.9, ssh password prompts will no longer
interfere with the -J display.
To avoid flicker, only done when ssh actually does need to prompt;
ssh is first run in batch mode and if that succeeds the connection is up
and no need to clear regions.

When ssh connection caching is enabled (and when GIT_ANNEX_USE_GIT_SSH is
not set), only one ssh password prompt will be made per host, and only one
ssh password prompt will be made at a time.
This also fixes a race in prepSocket's stale ssh connection stopping
when run with -J. It was possible for one thread to start a cached ssh
connection, and another thread to immediately stop it, resulting in excess
connections being made.
