This is a work in progress. It compiles and is able to do basic command
dispatch, including git autocorrection, while using optparse-applicative
for the core commandline parsing.
* Many commands are temporarily disabled before conversion.
* Options are not wired in yet.
* cmdnorepo actions don't work yet.
Also, removed the [Command] list, which was only used in one place.
I've been disliking how the command seek actions were written for some
time, with their inversion of control and ugly workarounds.
The last straw to fix it was sync --content, which didn't fit the
Annex [CommandStart] interface well at all. I have not yet made it take
advantage of the changed interface though.
The crucial change, and probably why I didn't do it this way from the
beginning, is to make each CommandStart action be run with exceptions
caught, and if it fails, increment a failure counter in annex state.
So I finally remove the very first code I wrote for git-annex, which
was before I had exception handling in the Annex monad, and so ran outside
that monad, passing state explicitly as it ran each CommandStart action.
This was a real slog from 1 to 5 am.
Test suite passes.
Memory usage is lower than before, sometimes by a couple of megabytes, and
remains constant, even when running in a large repo, and even when
repeatedly failing and incrementing the error counter. So no accidental
laziness space leaks.
Wall clock speed is identical, even in large repos.

There was confusion in different parts of the progress bar code about
whether an update contained the total number of bytes transferred, or the
number of bytes transferred since the last update. One way this bug
showed up was progress bars that seemed to stick at zero for a long time.
In order to fix it comprehensively, I add a new BytesProcessed data type,
that is explicitly a total quantity of bytes, not a delta.
Note that this doesn't necessarily fix every problem with progress bars.
Particularly, buffering can now cause progress bars to seem to run ahead
of transfers, reaching 100% when data is still being uploaded.
Fix resuming of downloads, which do not have a transfer info file to read.
When checking upload progress, use the MVar, rather than re-reading
the info file.
Catch exceptions in the transfer action. Required a tryAnnex.
