This avoids the possibility that the bundle could be updated in place,
leading to LOCPATH existing but containing locales for the old version,
which needed to be tested for with code that was not race-free.
LOCPATH/buildid is still written and checked when cleaning up stale caches.
That is not actually necessary, except old versions of the standalone
bundle expect to see it, and this prevents them cleaning up the locale
cache of a new version. And still checking it prevents the new version
cleaning up the locale cache of the old version while the old version is
still in use.
Added explicit tests before creating LOCPATH and the base and buildid files.
The buildid file no longer needs to be updated every time, because it's
stable for the given LOCPATH directory.
And the base file actually did not need to be updated every time,
because the LOCPATH is derived from base, so if the bundle is moved
elsewhere, a different LOCPATH will be used.
Transitioning to this will mean that two git-annex builds that otherwise
have the same buildid -- the same git-annex md5sum -- will use different
LOCPATH values, but that's handled fine by the cache cleanup code, so at
most it will mean one extra generation of the locale files.
It seemed best to do this, for consistency with every other way files can
get into a git-annex repo. Although it's just a bit strange that a local
.gitignore file affects the pseudo-commits made for the remote that's
imported from.

Ensure that checkCanAdd is used everywhere a file is added to git,
so git add is run with -f, presumably avoiding the work it would usually
do to check ignores.
This avoids import with --no-content and with --content potentially
generating two different trees, leading to a merge conflict when run in
two different clones of a repo. And it's necessary groundwork to make
git-annex sync --no-content import from special remotes that support
importKey.
Only the directory special remote currently supports importKey, and it
generates the same key as git-annex usually does, so there is no
behavior change for it.
Future special remotes will need to take care when adding importKey,
if it generates different keys. Added some warnings about that to
comments.

Import small files into git, the same as is done when importing with content.
Which means, for small files, --no-content does download them.
If the largefiles expression needs the file content available
(due to mimetype or mimeencoding being used), the import will fail.
