git annex add, git annex lock etc make multiple seek passes,
and each seek pass checked that files existed. That was unncessary
redundant work.
Fixed by adding a new WorkTreeItem type, make seek actions use it,
and check that the files exist when constructing it.

Before, there was a window where interrupting an add could result in the
file being moved into the annex, with no symlink yet created.

when storing files there, since that collection is created by initremote.
(This seems to work around some brokenness of the box.com webdav server
which was entering a redirect loop.)
Note that the fix makes locationParent return Nothing instead of "."
when there's no parent directory between the path and the top of the webdav
repo.

In my git-annex repos, I found some stale transfer info files
without lock files.
Pass a mode to tryLockExclusive, so it will create the lock file if
not present, and so not fail to clean up such transfer info files.
Normally, transfer info files are accompanied by a lock file.
But, when alwaysRunTransfer is used, the locking can fail
and it will still write the transfer info file. Perhaps there are other
cases too? Note that mkProgressUpdater's meter
writes to the transfer info file too, and it might be possible for
that meter to fire after runTransfer has cleaned up.
