### Please describe the problem.


### What steps will reproduce the problem?

Build git-annex with GHC 8.6.

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

7.20181211, master

### Please provide any additional information below.

Following the implementation plan for the [MonadFail Proposal](https://wiki.haskell.org/MonadFail_Proposal), GHC 8.6 has enabled `-XMonadFailDesugaring` by default.

Some of the code in git-annex uses failable patterns in `do`-blocks, so it fails to compile starting from GHC 8.6, as there is no `MonadFail` instance for `Annex`. Here is an example of such an error:

    Remote/Glacier.hs:165:17: error:
        • No instance for (Control.Monad.Fail.MonadFail Annex)
            arising from a do statement
            with the failable pattern ‘(_, Just h, _, pid)’
        • In a stmt of a 'do' block:
            (_, Just h, _, pid) <- liftIO $ createProcess cmd
          In the expression:
            do let cmd = ...
               (_, Just h, _, pid) <- liftIO $ createProcess cmd
               ok <- ifM
                       (liftIO $ hIsEOF h)
                       (return False, sink =<< liftIO (L.hGetContents h))
               liftIO $ hClose h
               ....
          In an equation for ‘go’:
              go (Just e)
                = do let cmd = ...
                     (_, Just h, _, pid) <- liftIO $ createProcess cmd
                     ok <- ifM
                             (liftIO $ hIsEOF h)
                             (return False, sink =<< liftIO (L.hGetContents h))
                     ....
        |
    165 |                 (_, Just h, _, pid) <- liftIO $ createProcess cmd
        |                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Just trying to start using it. I have built it with `-XNoMonadFailDesugaring` for now.
