git-annex-shell, remotedaemon, git remote: Fix some memory DOS attacks.
The attacker could just send a very lot of data, with no \n and it would
all be buffered in memory until the kernel killed git-annex or perhaps OOM
killed some other more valuable process.

This is a low impact security hole, only affecting communication between
local git-annex and git-annex-shell on the remote system. (With either
able to be the attacker). Only those with the right ssh key can do it. And,
there are probably lots of ways to construct git repositories that make git
use a lot of memory in various ways, which would have similar impact as
this attack.

The fix in P2P/IO.hs would have been higher impact, if it had made it to a
released version, since it would have allowed DOSing the tor hidden
service without needing to authenticate.

(The LockContent and NotifyChanges instances may not be really
exploitable; since the line is read and ignored, it probably gets read
lazily and does not end up staying buffered in memory.)

{- Security:
-
- The transfer info file contains the user-supplied key, but
- the built-in guards prevent slashes in it from showing up in the filename.
- It also contains the UUID of the remote. But slashes are also filtered
- out of that when generating the filename.
-
- Checks that the key being transferred is inAnnex, to prevent
- malicious spamming of bogus keys. Does not check that a transfer
- of the key is actually in progress, because this could be started
- concurrently with sendkey, and win the race.
