It can be set to an empty string to use the system locales too. Of course
whether that will work depends on the amount of divergence.

linux standalone: Generate locale files in ~/.cache/git-annex/locales/ so
they're available even when the standalone tarball is installed in a
directory owned by root.
This avoids a full-on reference counting cleanup hell, by letting old
locale caches linger as long as the standalone bundle directory associated
with them is still around. Old ones get cleaned up.
In the case where the directory has a new bundle unpacked over top of it,
the old locale cache is invalidated and rebuilt. Of course, running
programs using that may get confused, but this was already the case, and
unpacking over top of a bundle is probably not a good idea anyhow.
To support that, added a buildid file, which only needs to be unique across
builds of git-annex with different libc versions. sha1sum of git-annex
seems good enough for that.
Removed debian/patches/standalone-no-LOCPATH as it's no longer
necessary.

This way, autobuilders can run it before building, in a tree where
git-annex was already built, and get the current git rev embedded in the
build.
Before, the version number only updated when the setup program was run,
which was up to cabal and not on every build.
runshell: Use proot when running on Android, to work around Android 8's
ill-advised seccomp filtering of system calls, including ones crucial for
reliable thread locking. (This will only work with termux's version of
proot.)

runshell followed by git annex webapp didn't install that stuff, because
GIT_ANNEX_APP_BASE is not set. Running git-annex.linux/git-annex-webapp did
install that stuff, since that script set the env var. I noticed this with
the termux port whose instructions currently go that way.
Seems the right thing to do is to move the env var setting to runshell.
Added some tweaks to make git-annex work in termux on Android. The regular
arm standalone tarball now works in termux.
I guess the test for "$base/bin/git" is not really necessary, since it
tests for git-annex. Since that gets deleted on android, removed that test.
These are pretty hackish hacks, especially adding it to PATH. The goal is
to make it work well enough out of the box on Android.

Preloaded libraries from the host system may not get along with the bundled
linker.
This was observed by users in termux:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libtermux-exec.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64): ignored.
Bad system call
But it could also affect more usual systems; the preloaded library might rely
on symbols from the host libc that are not available or have the wrong versions
in the bundled libc. Unsetting LD_PRELOAD entirely seems safest.
Removed a few things that are not in the bundle anymore.
Checked all the bundled C libraries and executables and added some
missing license information for new dependencies.
Did not check for new haskell libraries.
As it was getting too expensive to patch out use of the "new" syscalls
We could revisit this if someone has hardware with an older kernel
that's still being maintained, but I've verified that the Synology
NAS that had used a too old kernel version has been updated to 2.6.32.

Get ugly reversion out of CHANGELOG.
Also, relocated the windows stack.yaml to top, and updated windows build
instructions.

wget was broken even in the previous old release of the windows bundle,
this is not new breakage. msys-idn-11.dll and probably more would be needed
to use it. git for windows includes msys-idn2-0.dll instead.
