ssh exit status 255 is a connection problem
Previously, when the git config was unable to be read from a ssh remote,
it would try to git fetch from it to determine if the remote was
otherwise accessible. That was unnessary work, since exit status 255
indicates a connection problem.
As well as avoiding the extra work of the fetch, this also improves
things when a ssh remote cannot be connected to due to a problem with
the git-annex ssh control socket. In that situation, ssh will also exit 255.
Before, the git fetch was tried in that situation, and would succeed, since
it does not use the git-annex ssh control socket. git-annex would conclude
that git-annex-shell was not installed on the remote, which could be wrong.
I suppose it also used to be possible for the user to need to enter a
ssh password on each connection to the remote. If they entered the wrong
password for the git-annex-shell call, but then the right password for
the git fetch, it would also incorrectly set annex-ignore, and that
situation is also now fixed.

remove i386ancient and need at least debian stable to build
* Removed the i386ancient standalone tarball build for linux, which
was increasingly unable to support new git-annex features.
* Removed support for building with ghc older than 9.0.2,
and with older versions of haskell libraries than are in current Debian
stable.
* stack.yaml: Update to lts-23.2.
Note that i386ancient was targeting linux 2.6.32, which has been EOL for
over 9 years now. Any old system still using such a kernel is certainly highly
insecure. And I suspect i386ancient had its own insecurities due to haskell
libraries and C libraries not having been updated.

annex.addunlocked support for tree imports
Honor annex.addunlocked configuration when importing a tree from a special
remote.
Note, in a --no-content import, the object file will not be populated
(usually) and so expressions that match on mime type will not match. Tested
this and it works ok, the file just ends up locked. Updated docs for the
mime expressions to mention that they can't match when the file is present
Note that in Command.Sync.pullThirdPartyPopulated, recordImportTree is
called without a AddUnlockedMatcher. Since the tree generated here is not
exposed to the user and does not contain usual filenames, there is no need
of the overhead of checking it.

annexInsteadOf config
Added config `url.<base>.annexInsteadOf` corresponding to git's
`url.<base>.pushInsteadOf`, to configure the urls to use for accessing the
git-annex repositories on a server without needing to configure
remote.name.annexUrl in each repository.
While one use case for this would be rewriting urls to use annex+http,
I decided not to add any kind of special case for that. So while
git-annex p2phttp, when serving multiple repositories, needs an url
of eg "annex+http://example.com/git-annex/ for each of them, rewriting an
url like "https://example.com/git/foo/bar" with this config set to
"https://example.com/git/" will result in eg
"annex+http://example.com/git-annex/foo/bar", which p2phttp does not
support.
That seems better dealt with in either git-annex p2phttp or a http
middleware, rather than complicating the config with a special case for
annex+http.
Anyway, there are other use cases for this that don't involve annex+http.

deal with git's CFLR nonsense once again
Work around git hash-object --stdin-paths's odd stripping of carriage
return from the end of the line (some windows infection), avoiding crashing
when the repo contains a filename ending in a carriage return.

git-remote-annex: Fix buggy behavior when annex.stalldetection is configured
Make programPath never return "git-remote-annex" or other known multi-call
program names, which are not git-annex and won't behave like it.
If the git-annex binary gets installed under some entirely other name,
it will still return it.
This change exposed that readProgramFile actually could crash,
which happened before only if getExecutablePath was not absolute
and there was no ~/.config/git-annex/program. So fixed that to catch
exception.
