Enable HTTP connection reuse across multiple files, when git-annex
uses http-conduit. Before, a new Manager was created each time
Utility.Url used it. Now, a single Manager gets created the first time,
so connections are reused.
Doesn't help when external programs are used for url download,
but does speed up addurl --fast, fsck --from web, etc.
Testing fsck --fast --from web with 3 files, over high-latency
satellite internet, it sped up from 19.37s to 14.96s.

When adding a new version of a file, and annex.genmetadata is enabled,
don't copy the data metadata from the old version of the file, instead use
the mtime of the file. Rationalle being that the user has requested to
generate metadata and so would expect to get the new mtime into metadata.
Also, avoid warning about copying metadata when all the old metadata is
date metadata. Which was rather the harder part.

Removed a few things that are not in the bundle anymore.
Checked all the bundled C libraries and executables and added some
missing license information for new dependencies.
Did not check for new haskell libraries.
I think this used to be the case, but it was accidentially lost way back in
commit 3887432c54. Normally, transfers do not
throw exceptions, so probably forward retrying was rarely done due to that
oversight.
This also affects the new annex.retry etc configuration. If a transfer
fails, without making any progress, eg because the file is not present on
the remote or the remote is not accessible, it will now retry when
configuration calls for it. In some cases such a retry is not desirable,
for example the remote could be accessible and not have a copy of the file
that the local repo thinks it has. I see no way to distinguish such cases
from cases where a retry should really be done. So, it'll be up to the user
to configure it to work for them.
Added annex.retry, annex.retry-delay, and per-remote versions to configure
transfer retries.
