Forces eg, download with youtube-dl without falling back to raw download.
Since youtube-dl failing due to an url not being supported is difficult to
distinguish from it failing due to being blocked in some way, this can be
useful to avoid the fallback of git-annex downloading the raw web page and
adding that.
Since --raw also prevents using special remotes, --no-raw also
allows special remote downloads. Although it's always possible that some
special remote may claim an url and fall back to raw download of the
content, which --no-raw cannot prevent.

Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking
for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not
noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options.
This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly
to how the matching options are handled.

add, addurl, importfeed, import: Added --no-check-gitignore option
for finer grained control than using --force.
(--force is used for too many different things, and at least one
of these also uses it for something else. I would like to reduce
--force's footprint until it only forces drops or a few other data
losses. For now, --force still disables checking ignores too.)
addunused: Don't check .gitignores when adding files. This is a behavior
change, but I justify it by analogy with git add of a gitignored file
adding it, asking to add all unused files back should add them all back,
not skip some. The old behavior was surprising.
In Command.Lock and Command.ReKey, CheckGitIgnore False does not change
behavior, it only makes explicit what is done. Since these commands are run
on annexed files, the file is already checked into git, so git add won't
check ignores.
Renamed annex.security.allowed-http-addresses to
annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses because it is not really specific to
the http protocol, also limiting eg, git-annex's use of ftp and via
youtube-dl, several other protocols.
The old name for the config will still work.
If both old and new name are set, the new name will win.
Fully working, including --fast/--relaxed.
Note that, while git-annex addurl --relaxed is not going to check
youtube-dl, I kept git annex importfeed --relaxed checking it.
Thinking is that, let's not break people's importfeed cron jobs, and
importfeed does not typically have to check a large number of new items,
so it's ok if it's a little bit slower when used with youtube playlist
feeds.
importfeed's behavior is also improved (?) when a feed has links in it
to non-media files. Before, those were skipped. Now, the content of the
link is downloaded. This had to be done, because trying to use
youtube-dl is slow, and if those were skipped, it would have to check
every time importfeed was run. While this behavior change may not be
desirable for some feeds, that intersperse links to web pages with
enclosures, it will be desirable for other feeds, that have
non-enclosure directy links to media files.
Remove old quvi modules.

i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex
manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through.
i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references
between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should
be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would
become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added
(git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind).
i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in
the metadata pages so far.
i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although
some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were
added there as well.
