addurl, importfeed: Changed to honor annex.largefiles settings, when the content of the url is downloaded. (Not when using --fast or --relaxed.)
importfeed just calls addurl functions, so inherits this from it.

Note that addurl still generates a temp file, and uses that key to download
the file. It just adds it to the work tree at the end when the file is small.

ATM git annex addurl ignores annex.largefiles option so to automate annexification or direct add to git for a list of files I need manually to download each one of them into a FILE and then "git annex add -c annex.largefiles='exclude=*.txt' FILE". But it would have been convenient if I could "addurl" some files directly from urls directly into git, as per largefiles settings.
N.B. I do understand that use-case might be somewhat vague, let me know if I should expand reasoning
