a ssh remote, and pulls.
XMPP is no longer needed in this configuration!
Requires the remote server have git-annex-shell with notifychanges support.

* sync --content: Honor annex-ignore configuration.
* sync: Don't try to sync with xmpp remotes, which are only currently
supported when using the assistant.
Added a RemoteChecker thread, that waits for problems to be reported with
remotes, and checks if their git repository is in need of repair.
Currently, only failures to sync with the remote cause a problem to be
reported. This seems enough, but we'll see.
Plugging in a removable drive with a repository on it that is corrupted
does automatically repair the repository, as long as the corruption causes
git push or git pull to fail. Some types of corruption do not, eg
missing/corrupt objects for blobs that git push doesn't need to look at.
So, this is not really a replacement for scheduled git repository fscking.
But it does make the assistant more robust.

(Except for the actual streaming of receive-pack through XMPP, which
can only run once we've gotten an appropriate uuid in a push initiation
message.)
Pushes are now only initiated when the initiation message comes from a
known uuid. This allows multiple distinct repositories to use the same xmpp
address.
Note: This probably breaks initial push after xmpp pairing, because at that
point we may not know about the paired uuid, and so reject the push from
it. It won't break in simple cases, because the annex-uuid of the remote
is checked. However, when there are multiple clients behind a single xmpp
address, only uuid of the first is recorded in annex-uuid, and so any
pushes from the others will be rejected (unless the first remote pushes their
uuids to us beforehand.
This is so git remotes on servers without git-annex installed can be used
to keep clients' git repos in sync.
This is a behavior change, but since annex-sync can be set to disable
syncing with a remote, I think it's acceptable.
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.
Make manualPull send push requests over XMPP.
When reconnecting with remotes, those that are XMPP remotes cannot
immediately be pulled from and scanned, so instead maintain a set of
(probably) desynced remotes, and put XMPP remotes on it. (This set could be
used in other ways later, if we can detect we're out of sync with other
types of remotes.)
The merger handles detecting when a XMPP push is received from a desynced
remote, and triggers a scan then, if they have in fact diverged.
This has one known bug: A single XMPP remote can have multiple clients
behind it. When this happens, only the UUID of one client is recorded
as the UUID of the XMPP remote. Pushes from the other XMPP clients will not
trigger a scan. If the client whose UUID is expected responds to the push
request, it'll work, but when that client is offline, we're SOL.
Pass subcommand as a regular param, which allows passing git parameters
like -c before it. This was already done in the pipeing set of functions,
but not the command running set.
I decided to use the fallback push mode from the beginning for XMPP, since
while it uses some ugly branches, it avoids the possibility of a normal
push failing, and needing to pull and re-push. Due to the overhead of XMPP,
and the difficulty of building such a chain of actions due to the async
implementation, this seemed reasonable.
It seems to work great!
Currently have three old versions of functions that more reworking is
needed to remove: getDaemonStatusOld, modifyDaemonStatusOld_, and
modifyDaemonStatusOld
Converted several threads to run in the monad.
Added a lot of useful combinators for working with the monad.
Now the monad includes the name of the thread.
Some debugging messages are disabled pending converting other threads.
Lacking error handling, reconnection, credentials configuration,
and doesn't actually do anything when it receives an incoming notification.
Other than that, it might work! :)
Hooked up everything that needs to notify on pushes. Note that
syncNewRemote does not notify. This is probably ok, and I'd need to thread
more state through to make it do so.
This is only set up to support a single push notification method; I didn't
use a NotificationBroadcaster. Partly because I don't yet know what info
about pushes needs to be communicated, so my data types are only
preliminary.
