New config annex.stalldetection, remote.name.annex-stalldetection, which
can be used to deal with remotes that stall during transfers, or are
sometimes too slow to want to use.

That seems to be the last thing needed for message serialization.
Although it's only used in the assistant currently, so hard to tell if I
forgot something.
At this point, it should be possible to start using transferkeys
when performing transfers, which will allow killing a transferkeys
process if a transfer times out or stalls. But that's for another day.

Any given transfer can only display 1 progress meter at a time, or so
this code assumes. In some cases, there are progress meters for
different stages of a transfer, perhaps, and that is supported by this.

Necessarily threw out the old protocol, so if an old git-annex assistant
is running, and starts a transferkeys from the new git-annex, it would
fail. But, that seems unlikely; the assistant starts up transferkeys
processes and then keeps them running. Still, may need to test that
scenario.
The new protocol is simple read/show and looks like this:
TransferRequest Download (Right "origin") (Key {keyName = "f8f8766a836fb6120abf4d5328ce8761404e437529e997aaa0363bdd4fecd7bb", keyVariety = SHA2Key (HashSize 256) (HasExt True), keySize = Just 30, keyMtime = Nothing, keyChunkSize = Nothing, keyChunkNum = Nothing}) (AssociatedFile (Just "foo"))
TransferOutput (ProgressMeter (Just 30) (MeterState {meterBytesProcessed = BytesProcessed 0, meterTimeStamp = 1.6070268727892535e9}) (MeterState {meterBytesProcessed = BytesProcessed 30, meterTimeStamp = 1.6070268728043e9}))
TransferOutput (OutputMessage "(checksum...) ")
TransferResult True
Granted, this is not optimally fast, but it seems good enough, and is
probably nearly as fast as the old protocol anyhow.
emitSerializedOutput for ProgressMeter is not yet implemented. It needs
to somehow start or update a progress meter. There may need to be a new
message that allocates a progress meter, and then have ProgressMeter
update it.

This is done always, it's up to the comsumer to decide if it wants to
output the json objects or the messages.
Messages.JSON.finalize changed to not need a JSONOptions.
As far as I can see, this does not change its behavior,
since addErrorMessage appends to any list that's already there.
This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.
Json objects not yet handled, and some other special cases, but this is
the bulk of the messages.
For progress meters, POSIXTime does not have a Read instance (or a
suitable Show instance), so had to switch to using a Double for progress
meters.

Lots of nice wins from this in avoiding unncessary work, and I think
nothing got slower.

The use case of this field is mostly to support -J combined with --json.
When that is implemented, a user will be able to look at the field to
determine which of the requests they have sent it corresponds to.
The field typically has a single value in its list, but in some cases
mutliple values (eg 2 command-line params) are combined together and the
list will have more.
Note that json parsing was already non-strict, so old git-annex metadata
--json --batch can be fed json produced by the new git-annex and will
not stumble over the new field.
A couple of these were probably actual bugs in edge cases. Most of the
changes I'm fine with. The fact that aeson's object returns sometihng
that we know will be an Object, but the type checker does not know is
kind of annoying.
If git-credential has it cached and does not prompt, this will
unfortunately result in a brief flicker, as the displayed console
regions are hidden while running it and then re-displayed. Better than a
corrupted display.
Actually, I tried it and don't see a visible flicker, so probably only
over a slow ssh will it be apparent.
Finally builds (oh the agoncy of making it build), but still very
unmergable, only Command.Find is included and lots of stuff is badly
hacked to make it compile.
Benchmarking vs master, this git-annex find is significantly faster!
Specifically:
num files old new speedup
48500 4.77 3.73 28%
12500 1.36 1.02 66%
20 0.075 0.074 0% (so startup time is unchanged)
That's without really finishing the optimization. Things still to do:
* Eliminate all the fromRawFilePath, toRawFilePath, encodeBS,
decodeBS conversions.
* Use versions of IO actions like getFileStatus that take a RawFilePath.
* Eliminate some Data.ByteString.Lazy.toStrict, which is a slow copy.
* Use ByteString for parsing git config to speed up startup.
It's likely several of those will speed up git-annex find further.
And other commands will certianly benefit even more.
This will speed up the common case where a Key is deserialized from
disk, but is then serialized to build eg, the path to the annex object.
Previously attempted in 4536c93bb2
and reverted in 96aba8eff7.
The problems mentioned in the latter commit are addressed now:
Read/Show of KeyData is backwards-compatible with Read/Show of Key from before
this change, so Types.Distribution will keep working.
The Eq instance is fixed.
Also, Key has smart constructors, avoiding needing to remember to update
the cached serialization.
Used git-annex benchmark:
find is 7% faster
whereis is 3% faster
get when all files are already present is 5% faster
Generally, the benchmarks are running 0.1 seconds faster per 2000 files,
on a ram disk in my laptop.
Drop support for building with ghc older than 8.4.4, and with older
versions of serveral haskell libraries than will be included in Debian 10.
The only remaining version ifdefs in the entire code base are now a couple
for aws!
This commit should only be merged after the Debian 10 release.
And perhaps it will need to wait longer than that; it would make
backporting new versions of git-annex to Debian 9 (stretch) which
has been actively happening as recently as this year.

This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Of course, it wasn't used much in those modes, because normal output is
avoided. But it was still initialized and used in a few places,
including a call to hideRegionsWhile.
Running git-annex linux builds in termux seems to work well enough that the
only reason to keep the Android app would be to support Android 4-5, which
the old Android app supported, and which I don't know if the termux method
works on (although I see no reason why it would not).
According to [1], Android 4-5 remains on around 29% of devices, down from
51% one year ago.

This is a rather large commit, but mostly very straightfoward removal of
android ifdefs and patches and associated cruft.
Also, removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1, and with
yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output, which were only being used
by the cross build.
Some documentation specific to the Android app (screenshots etc) needs
to be updated still.

As long as all code imports Utility.Aeson rather than Data.Aeson,
and no Strings that may contain utf-8 characters are used for eg, object
keys via T.pack, this is guaranteed to fix the problem everywhere that
git-annex generates json.
It's kind of annoying to need to wrap ToJSON with a ToJSON', especially
since every data type that has a ToJSON instance has to be ported over.
However, that only took 50 lines of code, which is worth it to ensure full
coverage. I initially tried an alternative approach of a newtype FileEncoded,
which had to be used everywhere a String was fed into aeson, and chasing
down all the sites would have been far too hard. Did consider creating an
intentionally overlapping instance ToJSON String, and letting ghc fail
to build anything that passed in a String, but am not sure that wouldn't
pollute some library that git-annex depends on that happens to use ToJSON
String internally.

0.1s seemed a bit too jumpy. But kept 0.1s for --json-progress in case
some consumer depends on it.
BTW, the way rsync handles it is one progress update after every chunk
the rolling checksum algo identifies. So it's not a fixed delay. Weird.
Noticed that getting a key whose size is not known resulted in a
progress display that didn't include the percent complete.
Fixed for P2P by making the size sent with DATA be used to update the
meter's total size.
In order for rateLimitMeterUpdate to also learn the total size,
had to make it be passed the Meter, and some other reorg in
Utility.Metered was also done so that --json-progress can construct a
Meter to pass to rateLimitMeterUpdate.
When the fallback rsync is done, the progress display still doesn't
include the percent complete. Only way to fix that seems to be to let rsync
display its output again, but that would conflict with git-annex's
own progress meter, which is also being displayed.

Note that, due to not using rsync to transfer files to ssh remotes
any longer, permissions and other file metadata of annexed files
will no longer be preserved when copying them to ssh remotes.
Other remotes never supported preserving that information, so
this is not considered a regression. Added NEWS item about this.
Another significant side effect of this is that, even when rsync is run to
retrieve a file, its progress display will no longer be shown, and
instead the native git-annex progress display will appear. It would be
possible to use the rsync process display when rsync is used (old
git-annex-shell and also retrieval from a local repository), but it
would have complicated the code unncessarily, and been inconsistent
behavior.
(I'd been thinking for a while about eliminating the rsync progress
display, since it's got some annoying verbosities, including display of
the key and the "(xfr#1, to-chk=0/1)" bit and was already somewhat
inconsistent.)
retrieveKeyFileCheap still uses rsync, since that ensures that it gets
the actual file content from the remote. Using the P2P protocol would
use the local content, as long as the local and remote size are the
same.

msg is what would be output to stderr, so has some layout and
formatting, which is perhaps not ideal, but let's at least avoid it
containing line breaks.
Always include error-messages field, even if empty,
to make the json be self-documenting.
This was a design requirement for --json-error-messages.

Fix behavior of --json-progress followed by --json, in which
the latter option disabled the former.

--json: When there are multiple lines of notes about a file, make the note
field multiline, rather than the old behavior of only including the last
line.
Using newlines in the note is perhaps not ideal, but upgrading it to an
array in this case would be an annoying inconsistency to need to deal with.

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.

Removed dependency on MissingH, instead depending on the split
library.
After laying groundwork for this since 2015, it
was mostly straightforward. Added Utility.Tuple and
Utility.Split. Eyeballed System.Path.WildMatch while implementing
the same thing.
Since MissingH's progress meter display was being used, I re-implemented
my own. Bonus: Now progress is displayed for transfers of files of
unknown size.

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.

This gets rid of quite a lot of ugly hacks around json generation.
I doubt that any real-world json parsers can parse incomplete objects, so
while it's not as nice to need to wait for the complete object, especially
for commands like `git annex info` that take a while, it doesn't seem worth
the added complexity.
This also causes the order of fields within the json objects to be
reordered. Since any real json parser shouldn't care, the only possible
problem would be with ad-hoc parsers of the old json output.
