giveup changed to filter out control characters. (It is too low level to
make it use StringContainingQuotedPath.)
error still does not, but it should only be used for internal errors,
where the message is not attacker-controlled.
Changed a lot of existing error to giveup when it is not strictly an
internal error.
Of course, other exceptions can still be thrown, either by code in
git-annex, or a library, that include some attacker-controlled value.
This does not guard against those.

All properties changed to use them, except for
prop_encode_c_decode_c_roundtrip, which already filtered to ascii
for other reasons.
A few modules had to be split out, because Setup does not build-depend
on QuickCheck.
MetaField was already limited to alphanumerics, so it makes sense to use
Text for it.
Note that technically a UUID can contain invalid UTF-8, and so
remoteMetaDataPrefix's use of T.pack . fromUUID could replace non-UTF8
values with '?' or whatever. In practice, a UUID is usually also text,
I only kept open the possibility of it containing invalid UTF-8 to avoid
breaking parsing of strange UUIDs in git-annex branch files. So, I
decided to let this edge case slip by.
Have not updated the rest of the code base yet for this change, as the
change took 2.5 hours longer than I expected to get working properly.
Since _encodeFilePath generates a String that doesn't use the filesystem
encoding, when this exception is caught, we know we already have such a
String, and can just return it as-is.
This was caused by 23e9d3bb77
an Arbitrary String is not necessarily encoded using the filesystem
encoding, and in a non-utf8 locale, encodeBS throws an exception on such a
string. All I could think to do is limit test data to ascii.
This shouldn't be a problem in practice, because the all Strings in
git-annex that are not generated by Arbitrary should be loaded in a way
that does apply the filesystem encoding.
Oh boy, not again. So, another place that the filesystem encoding needs to
be applied. Yay.
In passing, I changed decodeBS so if a NUL is embedded in the input, the
resulting FilePath doesn't get truncated at that NUL. This was needed to
make prop_b64_roundtrips pass, and on reviewing the callers of decodeBS, I
didn't see any where this wouldn't make sense. When a FilePath is used to
operate on the filesystem, it'll get truncated at a NUL anyway, whereas if
a String is being used for something else, it might conceivably have a NUL
in it, and we wouldn't want it to get truncated when going through
decodeBS.
(NB: There may be a speed impact from this change.)
The fix is to stop using w82s, which does not properly reconstitute unicode
strings. Instrad, use utf8 bytestring to get the [Word8] to base64. This
passes unicode through perfectly, including any invalid filesystem encoded
characters.
Note that toB64 / fromB64 are also used for creds and cipher
embedding. It would be unfortunate if this change broke those uses.
For cipher embedding, note that ciphers can contain arbitrary bytes (should
really be using ByteString.Char8 there). Testing indicated it's not safe to
use the new fromB64 there; I think that characters were incorrectly
combined.
For credpair embedding, the username or password could contain unicode.
Before, that unicode would fail to round-trip through the b64.
So, I guess this is not going to break any embedded creds that worked
before.
This bug may have affected some creds before, and if so,
this change will not fix old ones, but should fix new ones at least.
This fixes the issue mentioned in the last commit.
Turns out just collecting UUID of clients behind a XMPP remote is
insufficient (although I should probably still do it for other reasons),
because a single remote repo might be connected via both XMPP and local
pairing. So a way is needed to know when a push was received from any
client using a given XMPP remote over XMPP, as opposed to via ssh.
