cache remotes via annex-speculate-present
Added remote.name.annex-speculate-present config that can be used to
make cache remotes.

Implemented it in Remote.keyPossibilities, which is used by the
get/move/copy/mirror commands, and nothing else. This way, things like
whereis will not show content that's speculatively present.

The assistant and sync --content were not using Remote.keyPossibilities,
and were changed to use it.

The efficiency hit should be small; Remote.keyPossibilities is only
used before transferring a file, which is the expensive operation.
And, it's only doing one lookup of the remoteList and a very cheap
filter over it.

Note that, git-annex still updates the location log when copying content
to a remote with annex-speculate-present set. In this case, the location
tracking will indicate that content is present in the remote. This may
not be wanted for caches, or may not be a real problem for them. TBD.
