This fixes a problem with datalad's test suite, where loading the cluster
log happened to cause the git-annex branch commits to take a different
shape, with an additional commit.
It's also faster though, since many commands don't need the cluster log.
Just fill Annex.clusters with a thunk.

While usually uploading to a special remote does not verify the content,
the content in a repository is assumed to be valid, and there is no trust
boundary. But with a proxied special remote, there may be users who are
allowed to store objects, but are not really trusted.
Another way to look at this is it's the equivilant of git-annex-shell
checking the hash of received data, which it does (see StoreContent
implementation).
An interrupted PUT to cluster that has a node that is a special remote
over http left open the connection to the cluster, so the next request
opens another one. So did an interrupted PUT directly to the proxied
special remote over http.
proxySpecialRemote was stuck waiting for all the DATA. Its connection
remained open so it kept waiting.
In servePut, checktooshort handles closing the P2P connection
when too short a data is received from PUT. But, checktooshort was only
called after the protoaction, which is what runs the proxy, which is
what was getting stuck. Modified it to run as a background thread,
which waits for the tooshortv to be written to, which gather always does
once it gets to the end of the data received from the http client.
That makes proxyConnection's releaseconn run once all data is received
from the http client. Made it close the connection handles before
waiting on the asyncworker thread. This lets proxySpecialRemote finish
processing any data from the handle, and then it will give up,
more or less cleanly, if it didn't receive enough data.
I say "more or less cleanly" because with both sides of the P2P
connection taken down, some protocol unhappyness results. Which can lead
to some ugly debug messages. But also can cause the asyncworker thread
to throw an exception. So made withP2PConnections not crash when it
receives an exception from releaseconn.
This did have a small change to the behavior of an interrupted PUT when
proxying to a regular remote. proxyConnection has a protoerrorhandler
that closes the proxy connection on a protocol error. But the proxy
connection is also closed by checktooshort when it closes the P2P
connection. Closing the same proxy connection twice is not a problem,
it just results in duplicated debug messages about it.
