If the temp directory can somehow contain a hard link, it changes the
mode, which affects all other hard linked files. So, it's too unsafe
to use everywhere in git-annex, since hard links are possible in
multiple ways and it would be very hard to prove that every place that
uses a temp directory cannot possibly put a hard link in it.
Added a call to removeDirectoryForCleanup to test_crypto, which will
fix the problem that commit 17b20a2450
was intending to fix, with a much smaller hammer.

Using removePathForcibly avoids concurrent removal problems.
The i386ancient build still uses an old version of ghc and directory that
do not include removePathForcibly though.

Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
