This works, but needs more testing and work on cases like encrypted repos,
enabling existing repositories, etc.

It seems that all other uses of <div .col-sm-9> occur outside of
<div .content-box>. This one occurred inside it, when xmpp pairing.
This was introduced in the bootstrap 3 conversion.
The crash came from calling Git.repoLocation, but it made sense to fix this
higher up, because there is nothing to edit about the web, it just is what
it is.
When setting up a remote on a ssh server, prompt for a password inside the
webapp, rather than relying on ssh's own password prompting in the terminal
the webapp was started from, or ssh-askpass.
Avoids double prompting for the ssh password (and triple-prompting on
windows for rsync.net), since the entered password is cached for 10 minutes
and this cached password is reused when setting up the repository, after
the initial probe.
When the user has an existing ssh key set up, they can choose to use it,
rather than entering a password. The webapp used to probe for this case
automatically, so this is a little harder, but it's an advanced user thing.
Note that this commit is known to break enabling existing rsync
repositories. It hs not been tested with gcrypt repositories. It's not been
successfully tested yet on Windows.

Testing suggests that at least some browsers (like mozilla) cache
things in a way that prevents the href="#" from reloading anything,
so the button didn't work.
Did not see a quick way to fix this better, so just suggest user reload.
The webapp will check twice a day, when the network is connected, to see if
it can download a distributon upgrade file. If a newer version is found,
display an upgrade alert.
This will need the autobuilders to set UPGRADE_LOCATION to the url
it can be downloaded from when building git-annex. Only builds with that
set need automatic upgrade alerts.
Currently, the upgrade page just requests the user manually download
and upgrade it. But, all the info is provided to do automated upgrades
in the future.
Note that urls used will need to all be https.

Complicated by such repositories potentially being repos that should have
an annex.uuid, but it failed to be gotten, perhaps due to the past ssh repo
setup bugs. This is handled now by an Upgrade Repository button.
When starting up the assistant, it'll remind about the current
repository, if it doesn't have checks. And when a removable drive
is plugged in, it will remind if a repository on it lacks checks.
Since that might be annoying, the reminders can be turned off.

Once I built the basic widget, it turned out to be rather easy to replicate
it once per scheduled activity and wire it all up to a fully working UI.
This does abuse yesod's form handling a bit, but I think it's ok.
And it would be nice to have it all ajax-y, so that saving one modified
form won't lose any modifications to other forms. But for now, a nice
simple 115 line of code implementation is a win.

Improved probing the remote server, so it gathers a list of the
capabilities it has. From that list, we can determine which types
of remotes are supported, and display an appropriate UI.
The new buttons for making gcrypt repos don't work yet, but the old buttons
for unencrypted git repo and encrypted rsync repo have been adapted to the
new data types and are working.

Now the webapp can generate a gpg key that is dedicated for use by
git-annex. Since the key is single use, much of the complexity of
generating gpg keys is avoided.
Note that the key has no password, because gpg-agent is not available
everywhere the assistant is installed. This is not a big security problem
because the key is going to live on the same disk as the git annex
repository, so an attacker with access to it can look directly in the
repository to see the same files that get stored in the encrypted
repository on the removable drive.
There is no provision yet for backing up keys.
