Had to split out some modules because getWorkingDirectory needs unix,
which is not a build-dep of configure.

Improve git-annex's ability to find the path to its program, especially
when it needs to run itself in another repo to upgrade it.
Some parts of the code used readProgramFile, probably because I forgot that
programPath exists.
I noticed this when a git-annex auto-upgrade failed because it was running
git-annex upgrade --autoonly, but the code to run git-annex used
readProgramFile, which happened to point to an older build of git-annex.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Avoid performing repository fixups for submodules and git-worktrees
when there's a .noannex file that will prevent git-annex from being
used in the repository.
This change is ok as long as the .noannex file is really going to prevent
git-annex from being used. But, init --force could override the file.
Which would result in the repo being initialized without the fixups
having run.
To avoid that situation decided to change init, to not let --force be used
to override a .noannex file. Instead the user can just delete the file.
ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /

This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case
seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout
of that line.
Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory
podcast.
This works around horribleness in the Mavericks cpp, which falls over on
the #if when configure is running. Moving it avoids the file being built at
that point.
But it's also a location that makes sense..
Not yet wired up to restart the assistant on upgrade; that needs careful
sanity checking to wait until the upgrade is done before restarting.
Used the DirWatcher here, so it gets events for any changes to the
directory containing the program file. (But not subdirs.) This is necessary
in order to detect when the file is renamed as part of the upgrade, which
an inotify on a single file would not detect. (Also, I have DirWatcher code,
but not FileWatcher code.)
Note that upgrades that remove or rename a whole directory tree containing
the executable will *not* trigger this code. So eg, deleting and replacing
the whole standalone tarball dir tree won't work -- but untarring it
over top will. So should dpkg package upgrades.
Added programPath, using a new GHC feature to find the full path to the
executable. The fallback code for old GHC or unsupported OS is less good;
its worst failure mode would be either failing to find the program, and so
not checking for upgrades, or finding a git-annex that's in PATH, but is
not the one running.

As well as just being nicer, and less code, this uses nubBy equalFilePath
to ensure that the autostart file never gets dups.
Also, removing from the file no longer needs to be a perfect string match;
it also uses equalFilePath.
