* At long last there's a way to hide annexed files whose content
is missing from the working tree: git-annex adjust --hide-missing
* When already in an adjusted branch, running git-annex adjust
again will update the branch as needed. This is mostly
useful with --hide-missing to hide/unhide files after their content
has been dropped or received.
Still needs integration with sync and the assistant, and not as fast as it
could be, but already usable.

Combinations like --hide-misssing --unlocked seem very useful. On the
other hand, combining --fix with --unlock doesn't make sense because a
file can be either unlocked or a symlink that can be fixed, but not
both.
Changed the serialization of HideMissingAdjustment in passing, but it
has not actually been used yet so nothing will be broken.

After 220317df5a the test suite still
detected a problem; migrate of an unlocked file replaced it with a
pointer file rather than a file with the content.
This was a bookeeping problem; the worktree file was being copied to the object
file and the inode cache updated, but if that database write didn't get
flushed in time, later checks would think the content was not present.
Fixed by copying the object file to the worktree file instead, which
avoids needing to update the inode cache.
Also, only copy when there's a hard link to break, not always.

After commit b2bafdb2fc the test suite
threw up a failure migrating unlocked files.
I'm not clear how that commit broke it (presumably by inAnnex reporting
the right information now), but the actual problem is plain:
The inodecache for the worktree file is generated, but then the file is
replaced with a copy (unncessarily unless annex.link is set, but the
code always does so) and so linkToAnnex/linkAnnex then fails because it
notices the inode cache is not valid.

That could cause git-annex to get confused about whether a locked file's
content was present, when the object file got touched.
Unfortunately this means more work sometimes when annex.thin is set,
since it has to checksum the file to tell if it's still got the right
content.
Had to suppress output when inAnnex calls isUnmodified, otherwise
"(checksum...)" would be printed in places it ought not to be,
eg "git annex get" could turn out not need to get anything, and
so only display that.

I understand and sympathize with why this was added here, but the fact
is that this kind of warning is clutter that is going to make it harder
to understand this man page overall; this is not the place to document
internal implementation details of the format of URL keys and more than
it would be the place to document how WORM keys mangle and truncate
filenames, or how the extension of a SHAnE key is chosen. I see that
it did get documented better in backends.mdwn, which is a good place
to document it.
The chance that someone is going to have the same misunderstanding and
happen to see this warning does not justify confusing everyone else
with a warning that is really out of place in this documentation.
This is to work around https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/2769
which I don't know how to reproduce outside that environment, nor do I
understand the root cause of. For some time, Neurodebian has been working
around it by building its standalone debs with a patch that disables use
of the locales bundled with the standalone build, letting the system
locales be used.
Using the system locales is asking for trouble if there's
significant version skew between the system and bundled glibc, and
possibly also if the architeciture is different, or whatever. That's why
git-annex bundles and uses its own locales, because numerous users
reported real problems with using the system locales.
... However, in the specific case of the Neurodebian standalone debs,
the deb is built on a system very like the one it's targeted to be
installed on. Or well, so they assure me, although doc/install/Ubuntu.mdwn
also promotes those for use across all versions of Ubuntu, and the deb
is built avoiding xz so it will work with old versions of dpkg, so I wonder
how true it is. It does seem that, at least currently, there is no bad
version skew in the locales of the systems the deb is used on, since
it's already been using the system locales for some time.
Anyway, since the Neurodebian build already is setting
GIT_ANNEX_PACKAGE_INSTALL=1 in runshell, I made runshell use system
locales when that's set. This is a small scope creep for
GIT_ANNEX_PACKAGE_INSTALL, but it's not documented and AFAIK only used
for the Neurodebian build, so that seems ok. This will let them stop
carrying their patch for this forward.

The bundled uname -o says Linux in termux; have runshell on Android
delete it so the termux one is used instead.
This fixes the webapp so it will enter Android mode.
