When a nonexistant file is passed to a command and --json-error-messages
is enabled, output a JSON object indicating the problem.
(But git ls-files --error-unmatch still displays errors about such files in
some situations.)
I don't like the duplication of the name of the command introduced by this,
but I can't see a great way around it. One way would be to pass the Command
instead.
When json is not enabled, the stderr is unchanged. This is necessary
because some commands like find have custom output. So dislaying
"find foo not found" would be wrong. So had to complicate things with
toplevelFileProblem having different output with and without json.
When not using --json-error-messages but still using --json, it displays
the error to stderr, but does display a json object without the error. It
does have an errorid though. Unsure how useful that behavior is.

This does, as a side effect, make long notes in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset them
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

Converted warning and similar to use StringContainingQuotedPath. Most
warnings are static strings, some do refer to filepaths that need to be
quoted, and others don't need quoting.
Note that, since quote filters out control characters of even
UnquotedString, this makes all warnings safe, even when an attacker
sneaks in a control character in some other way.
When json is being output, no quoting is done, since json gets its own
quoting.
This does, as a side effect, make warning messages in json output not
be indented. The indentation is only needed to offset warning messages
underneath the display of the file they apply to, so that's ok.

Added StringContainingQuotedPath, which is used for ActionItemOther.
In the process, checked every ActionItemOther for those containing
filenames, and made them use quoting.

This is by no means complete, but escaping filenames in actionItemDesc does
cover most commands.
Note that for ActionItemBranchFilePath, the value is branch:file, and I
choose to only quote the file part (if necessary). I considered quoting the
whole thing. But, branch names cannot contain control characters, and while
they can contain unicode, git coes not quote unicode when displaying branch
names. So, it would be surprising for git-annex to quote unicode in a
branch name.
The find command is the most obvious command that still needs to be
dealt with. There are probably other places that filenames also get
displayed, eg embedded in error messages.
Some other commands use ActionItemOther with a filename, I think that
ActionItemOther should either be pre-sanitized, or should explicitly not
be used for filenames, so that needs more work.
When --json is used, unicode does not get escaped, but control
characters were already escaped in json.
(Key escaping may turn out to be needed, but I'm ignoring that for now.)

This serves two purposes. --remote=web bypasses other special remotes that
claim the url, same as addurl --raw. And, specifying some other remote
allows making sure that an url is claimed by the remote you expect,
which makes then using setpresentkey not be fragile.

Works around this bug in unix-compat:
https://github.com/jacobstanley/unix-compat/issues/56
getFileStatus and other FilePath using functions in unix-compat do not do
UNC conversion on Windows.
Made Utility.RawFilePath use convertToWindowsNativeNamespace to do the
necessary conversion on windows to support long filenames.
Audited all imports of System.PosixCompat.Files to make sure that no
functions that operate on FilePath were imported from it. Instead, use
the equvilants from Utility.RawFilePath. In particular the
re-export of that module in Common had to be removed, which led to lots
of other changes throughout the code.
The changes to Build.Configure, Build.DesktopFile, and Build.TestConfig
make Utility.Directory not be needed to build setup. And so let it use
Utility.RawFilePath, which depends on unix, which cannot be in
setup-depends.

Fix a reversion that made dead keys not be skipped when operating on all
keys via --all or in a bare repo. (Introduced in version 8.20200720)
Also, improved the documentation of git-annex-dead, it does not only apply
to fsck --all.
Also, made git-annex fsck, when run on a file whose key is dead, display
that. Before, it displayed that only when run with --all, but with this
fix, it skips dead keys with --all. But it can still be run on a file that
uses a dead key, and displaying "This key is dead" explains to the user
why it does not consider missing content for it to be a problem.

--backend is no longer a global option, and is only accepted by commands
that actually need it.
Three commands that used to support backend but don't any longer are
watch, webapp, and assistant. It would be possible to make them support it,
but I doubt anyone used the option with these. And in the case of webapp
and assistant, the option was handled inconsistently, only taking affect
when the command is run with an existing git-annex repo, not when it
creates a new one.
Also, renamed GlobalOption etc to AnnexOption. Because there are many
options of this type that are not actually global (any more) and get
added to commands that need them.

The purpose of this is to fix situations where the annex object file is
stored in a directory structure other than where annex symlinks point to.
But it will also move object files from the hashdirmixed back to
hashdirlower if the repo configuration makes that the normal location.
It would have been more work to avoid that than to let it do it.

Ignore annex.numcopies set to 0 in gitattributes or git config, or by
git-annex numcopies or by --numcopies, since that configuration would make
git-annex easily lose data. Same for mincopies.
This is a continuation of the work to make data only be able to be lost
when --force is used. It earlier led to the --trust option being disabled,
and similar reasoning applies here.
Most numcopies configs had docs that strongly discouraged setting it to 0
anyway. And I can't imagine a use case for setting to 0. Not that there
might not be one, but it's just so far from the intended use case of
git-annex, of managing and storing your data, that it does not seem like
it makes sense to cater to such a hypothetical use case, where any
git-annex drop can lose your data at any time.
Using a smart constructor makes sure every place avoids 0. Note that this
does mean that NumCopies is for the configured desired values, and not the
actual existing number of copies, which of course can be 0. The name
configuredNumCopies is used to make that clear.

And fail with an informative message.
I don't think ACLs can prevent removing the write bit, but I'm not sure,
so kept it mentioning them as a possibility.
Should git-annex lock also check if the write bits are able to be removed?
Maybe, but the case I know about with xattrs involves cp -a copying NFS
xattrs, and it's the copy of the file that is the problem. So when locking
a file, I guess it will not be the copy.

This eliminates the distinction between decodeBS and decodeBS', encodeBS
and encodeBS', etc. The old implementation truncated at NUL, and the
primed versions had to do extra work to avoid that problem. The new
implementation does not truncate at NUL, and is also a lot faster.
(Benchmarked at 2x faster for decodeBS and 3x for encodeBS; more for the
primed versions.)
Note that filepath-bytestring 1.4.2.1.8 contains the same optimisation,
and upgrading to it will speed up to/fromRawFilePath.
AFAIK, nothing relied on the old behavior of truncating at NUL. Some
code used the faster versions in places where I was sure there would not
be a NUL. So this change is unlikely to break anything.
Also, moved s2w8 and w82s out of the module, as they do not involve
filesystem encoding really.

An easy way to see this in action is to have an unlocked file, and touch the
object file.
While all code that compares inode caches for object files needs to be
prepared for this kind of problem and fall back to verification, having
fsck notice it and correct it is cheap (as long as fsck is being run
anyway) and ensures that if it happens for some unusual reason, there's a
way for the user to notice that it's happening.
Not that, when annex.thin is in use, the earlier call to isUnmodified
(and also potentially earlier calls to inAnnex in eg, verifyLocationLog)
will fix up the same problem silently. That might prevent the warning
being displayed, although probably it still will be, because the
Database.Keys write of the InodeCache will be queued but will not have
happened yet. I can't see a way to improve this, but it's not great.

Some uses of linkFromAnnex are inside replaceWorkTreeFile, which was
already safe, but others use it directly on the work tree file, which
was race-prone. Eg, if the work tree file was first removed, then
linkFromAnnex called to populate it, the user could have re-written it in
the interim.
This came to light during an audit of all calls of addInodeCaches,
looking for such races. All the other uses of it seem ok.

In Annex.Content, the object file was statted after pointer files were
populated. But if annex.thin is set, once the pointer files are
populated, the object file can potentially be modified via the hard
link. So, it was possible, though seemingly very unlikely, for the inode
of the modified object file to be cached.
Command.Fix and Command.Fsck had similar problems, statting the work
tree files after they were in place. Changed them to stat the temp file
that gets moved into place. This does rely on .git/annex being on the
same filesystem. If it's not, the cached inode will not be the same as
the one that the temp file gets moved to. Result will be that git-annex
will later need to do an expensive verification of the content of the
worktree files. Note that the cross-filesystem move of the temp file
already is a larger amount of extra work, so this seems acceptable.

When downloading content from a remote, if the content is able to be
verified during the transfer, skip checksumming it a second time.
Note that in this case, the fsck output does not include "(checksum)"
which it does when the checksumming is done separately from the download.

fsck: When --from is used in combination with --all or similar options, do

This is conceptually very simple, just making a 1 that was hard coded be
exposed as a config option. The hard part was plumbing all that, and
dealing with complexities like reading it from git attributes at the
same time that numcopies is read.
Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0. It seemed better to
remove that edge case, than complicate mincopies by ignoring it when
numcopies is 0.

No behavior changes (hopefully), just adding SeekInput and plumbing it
through to the JSON display code for later use.
Over the course of 2 grueling days.
withFilesNotInGit reimplemented in terms of seekHelper
should be the only possible behavior change. It seems to test as
behaving the same.
Note that seekHelper dummies up the SeekInput in the case where
segmentPaths' gives up on sorting the expanded paths because there are
too many input paths. When SeekInput later gets exposed as a json field,
that will result in it being a little bit wrong in the case where
100 or more paths are passed to a git-annex command. I think this is a
subtle enough problem to not matter. If it does turn out to be a
problem, fixing it would require splitting up the input
parameters into groups of < 100, which would make git ls-files run
perhaps more than is necessary. May want to revisit this, because that
fix seems fairly low-impact.
This is groundwork for external backends, but also makes sense to keep
this information with the rest of a Backend's implementation.
Also, removed isVerifiable. I noticed that the same information is
encoded by whether a Backend implements verifyKeyContent or not.
Added annex.skipunknown git config, that can be set to false to change the
behavior of commands like `git annex get foo*`, to not skip over files/dirs
that are not checked into git and are explicitly listed in the command
line.
Significant complexity was needed to handle git-annex add, which uses some
git ls-files calls, but needs to not use --error-unmatch because of course
the files are not known to git.
annex.skipunknown is planned to change to default to false in a
git-annex release in early 2022. There's a todo for that.
Remaining things needing converted are in the assistant, and Annex.Ssh.
Every other remaining call to createDirectoryIfMissing True has been
audited and is not relevant. The ones in Build/ of course don't get
included in the program. Others included eg, Remote.Tahoe and
Config.Files which both write to dotfiles under the home directory.
Since it was used on both worktree and .git/annex files, split into
multiple functions.
In passing, this also improves permissions of created directories in
.git/annex, using createAnnexDirectory on those.
fsck --from remote: Fix a concurrency bug that could make it incorrectly
detect that content in the remote is corrupt, and remove it, resulting in
