thoughts on cycles

Rejected the idea of automatically instantiating remotes for proxies-of-proxies.
That needs cycle protection, while the current behavior, which happened
for free, is that running git-annex updateproxy on the proxy can be used
to configure it, but only for topologies that actually exist.
