Also deletes any tagged pushes that the assistant might have done,
since those would also prevent resetting a branch back.

Motivation is to remove all metadata when it gets copied from a previous
version of the file, and that is not deisrable.

This is similar to the pusher thread, but a separate thread because git
pushes can be done in parallel with exports, and updating a big export
should not prevent other git pushes going out in the meantime.
The exportThread only runs at most every 30 seconds, since updating an
export is more expensive than pushing. This may need to be tuned.
Added a separate channel for export commits; the committer records a
commit in that channel.
Also, reconnectRemotes records a dummy commit, to make the exporter
thread wake up and make sure all exports are up-to-date. So,
connecting a drive with a directory special remote export will
immediately update it, and getting online will automatically
update S3 and WebDAV exports.
The transfer queue is not involved in exports. Instead, failed
exports are retried much like failed pushes.

The bug occurred when closeDb was not called, and garbage collection of
the DbHandle didn't give the workerThread time to shut down. Fixed by
exiting the runSqlite action when a commit is made.
(MultiWriter mode already forked off a runSqlite action, so avoided the
problem.)

Now when one repository has exported a tree, another repository can get
files from the export, after syncing.
There's a bug: While the database update works, somehow the database on
disk does not get updated, and so the database update is run the next
time, etc. Wasn't able to figure out why yet.

New table needed to look up what filenames are used in the currently
exported tree, for reasons explained in export.mdwn.
Also, added smart constructors for ExportLocation and ExportDirectory to
make sure they contain filepaths with the right direction slashes.
And some code refactoring.

There does not seem to be a use case for supporting that, and it would
need a lot of complication to support it in a way that allows eventual
consistency when two repositories are updating the same export.
