When the external special remote program crashed, a newline
could be output, which messed up the expected output for --batch mode.
Avoid checking EXPORTSUPPORTED for special remotes that are
not configured to use exports. The datalad special remote apparently is/was
buggy and crashed on EXPORTSUPPORTED. Anyway, there's no need to send
it when the configuration doesn't need it.

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.

Needed so that the assistant can download from exports.
updateExportTreeFromLog is normally only run one time, but needs to be
run repeatedly during the lifetime of the assistant.

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.

Split exportRemotes out from syncDataRemotes; the parts of the assistant
that upload keys and drop keys from remotes don't apply to exports,
because those operations are not supported.
Some parts of the assistant and webapp do operate on both
syncDataRemotes and exportRemotes. Particularly when downloading from
either of them. Added a downloadRemotes that combines both.
With this, the assistant should download from exports, but it won't yet
upload changes to them.

Same as is done for all other transfers of content, so the webapp will
display progress bars etc.

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.

Use ExportTree rather than ExportedLocation for retrieveKeyFile and
checkPresent. When another remote exported the content, ExportTree will
be populated, but ExportedLocation will not be.
It would be possible to implement storeKey to exports as well, but it
risks performing a lot of unncessary work when another repository
already stored the key on the export and the local repository doesn't
know about it.
The only way to avoid that work would be for storeKey to use checkPresentExport
before uploading. But, the other repository could have changed the
exported tree as well, so that can't be trusted, and if it were used in
storeKey, could result in bad information getting into the location log.

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.
