I've long considered the XMPP support in git-annex a wart.
It's nice to remove it.
(This also removes the NetMessager, which was only used for XMPP, and the
daemonstatus's desynced list (likewise).)
Existing XMPP remotes should be ignored by git-annex.

Didn't know that this library existed!
This includes making git-annex not re-exec itself on start on windows, and
making the test suite on Windows run tests without forking.
Yes, this means that git annex webapp on windows execs git-annex, which
execs itself to set env, and the execs itself again to redirect logs.
This is disgusting. This is Windows(TM).
The ctrl-c hack used before didn't actually seem to work.
No haskell libraries expose TerminateProcess. I tried just calling it via
FFI, but got segfaults, probably to do with the wacky process handle not
being managed correctly. Moving it all into one C function worked.
This was hell. The EvilLinker hack was just final icing on the cake.
We all know what the cake was made of.
This is no longer necessary, at least with msysgit 1.8.5.2.msysgit.0.
Its root cause may have been fixed by other recent git path fixes.
It was causing the webapp to fail to make repos on other drives.
This fixes the problem of the environment variables apparently not being
seen on Windows. I could probably remove the setting of the env vars from
Test.hs now as this covers it better.
Note that outside the test suite, git-annex on windows seems to manage to
configure the repo so commits work on its own.
On windows, the sync of the second cloned repo to origin failed, because
synced/master was a non-fast-forward. This may be a bug of its own, but
it's not the issue that this test was intended to test, so disconnect
the repos from origin before syncing.
