rsync is only needed for rsync special remotes and git-annex-shell from
Debian oldstable. Since the library situation on windows for rsync required
a particular 32 bit build of git for it to work, and may also somehow need
git-annex to be 32 bit build, it's better to not include it.

I made some improvements to its API after splitting it out of git-annex,
so merge those back in.
This is groundwork for removing the embedded copy of it and depending on
it.
Also moved the managerResponseTimeout disabling to Annex.Url as it's
git-annex specific.

Avoid statting file, just try to remove it.
Also a comment to explain why it tries to remove it, which was puzzling
me when I revisited this code until I saw that cp fails to overwrite a
mode 444 file, including perhaps one left by a previous interrupted cp.

Improved probing when CoW copies can be made between files on the same
drive. Now supports CoW between BTRFS subvolumes. And, falls back to rsync
instead of using cp when CoW won't work, eg copies between repos on the
same EXT4 filesystem.
Rather than trying cp --reflink=always for each file copied to a remote,
it's tried once and if it fails it falls back to using rsync thereafter
for the lifetime of the Remote object. That avoids overhead of calling cp
which while small, will add up over a large number of files.

Since v6 is not a usable repo version any longer, it's confusing to have
documentation that refers to it.
