When youtube-dl is not available in PATH, use yt-dlp instead
Debian is going to drop youtube-dl which is not active upstream, and yt-dlp
is the replacement. This will make it be used if youtube-dl gets removed.
If an old version of youtube-dl remains installed, git-annex will still use
it. That might not be desirable, but changing git-annex to use yt-dlp in
preference to youtube-dl when both are installed risks breaking when
the user has annex.youtube-dl-options set to something that is supported
by youtube-dl, but not by yt-dlp.

don't frontload reconcileStaged in git-annex init
init: Avoid scanning for annexed files, which can be lengthy in a
large repository. Instead that scan is done on demand. This lets git-annex
init be run and some query commands be used in a repository without
waiting.
Note that autoinit already behaved this way, so while this will mean some
commands like git-annex get/unlock/add will do the scan the first time run,
that is not really a significant behavior change.
And, it's really better to have a consistent behavior. The reason for
the inconsistency was a strange bug discussed in b3c4579c7907147a496bdf2c73b42238d8b239d6. Avoiding reconcileStaged in
init will keep avoiding whatever that was.
aws 0.23 is not used any longer, so read-only S3 import won't be
supported yet when building with stack.
That commit broke the build on windows, because the new version of Win32 that
was included (because the old one does not work with this lts version)
needs a version of filepath that is newer than the one bundled with the
ghc in that lts version. It is not possible to override that to a newer
filepath.
Seems that the only solution to get aws 0.23 will be to wait for a ghc that
contains filepath 1.4.100.0. No ghc yet contains it. (Backporting the Win32
fix to a point release version that does not include this bleeding edge
filepath would also resolve it, but seems unlikely to happen.)

export: fix multi-file delete bug
export: Fix a bug that left a file on a special remote when two files with
the same content were both deleted in the exported tree.
Case of the wrong data structure leading to the wrong result.
The DiffMap now contains all the old filenames, and all the new filenames.
Note that, when 2 files with the same content are both renamed,
it only renames the first, but deletes and re-exports the second.
Improving that is possible, but it would need to use a different temporary
filename. Anyway, that is an unusual case, and there are known to be other
unusual cases where export does not rename with maximum efficiency, IIRC.
(Or maybe this is the case that I remember?)

avoid splitting repo tests into too small parts around -J16
The initTests have to be run once per part, and a point of diminishing
returns can be reached where more work is being done to set up for 1 or
2 tests than to run them.
This is better than a hard cap of -J8 or so, because it lets other
things than these particular tests still be parallelized at -J16.

complete support for S3 signature=anonymous
aws-0.23 has been released.
When built with an older aws, initremote will error out when run
with signature=anonymous. And when a remote has been initialized with
that by a version of git-annex that does support it, older versions will
fail when the remote is accessed, with a useful error message.

Make git-annex enable-tor work when using the linux standalone build
Clean the standalone environment before running the su command
to run "sh". Otherwise, PATH leaked through, causing it to run
git-annex.linux/bin/sh, but GIT_ANNEX_DIR was not set,
which caused that script to not work:
[2022-10-26 15:07:02.145466106] (Utility.Process) process [938146] call: pkexec ["sh","-c","cd '/home/joey/tmp/git-annex.linux/r' && '/home/joey/tmp/git-annex.linux/git-annex' 'enable-tor' '1000'"]

Changed programPath to not use GIT_ANNEX_PROGRAMPATH,
but instead run the scripts at the top of GIT_ANNEX_DIR.
That works both when the standalone environment is set up, and when it's
not.

use lookupKeyStaged in --batch code paths
Make --batch mode handle unstaged annexed files consistently whether the
file is unlocked or not. Before this, a unstaged locked file
would have the symlink on disk examined and operated on in --batch mode,
while an unstaged unlocked file would be skipped.
Note that, when not in batch mode, unstaged files are skipped over too.
That is actually somewhat new behavior; as late as 7.20191114 a
command like `git-annex whereis .` would operate on unstaged locked
files and skip over unstaged unlocked files. That changed during
optimisation of CmdLine.Seek with apparently little fanfare or notice.
Turns out that rmurl still behaved that way when given an unstaged file
on the command line. It was changed to use lookupKeyStaged to
handle its --batch mode. That also affected its non-batch mode, but
since that's just catching up to the change earlier made to most
other commands, I have not mentioed that in the changelog.
It may be that other uses of lookupKey should also change to
lookupKeyStaged. But it may also be that would slow down some things,
or lead to unwanted behavior changes, so I've kept the changes minimal
for now.
An example of a place where the use of lookupKey is better than
lookupKeyStaged is in Command.AddUrl, where it looks to see if the file
already exists, and adds the url to the file when so. It does not matter
there whether the file is staged or not (when it's locked). The use of
lookupKey in Command.Unused likewise seems good (and faster).

More robust handling of ErrorBusy when writing to sqlite databases
While ErrorBusy and other exceptions were caught and the write retried for
up to 10 seconds, it was still possible for git-annex to eventually
give up and error out without writing to the database. Now it will retry
as long as necessary.
This does mean that, if one git-annex process is suspended just as sqlite
has locked the database for writing, another git-annex that tries to write
it it might get stuck retrying forever. But, that could already happen when
opening the sqlite database, which retries forever on ErrorBusy. This is an
area where git-annex is known to not behave well, there's a todo about the
general case of it.
Probably not cooincidentally, I emailed sqlite-users about such a
situation in Feb 2015.
https://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org/msg90580.html
Noone ever replied to me, but at least now I understand why it does that.
Since it's documented now, it's no longer a bug.

avoid uncessary keys db writes; doubled speed!
When running eg git-annex get, for each file it has to read from and
write to the keys database. But it's reading exclusively from one table,
and writing to a different table. So, it is not necessary to flush the
write to the database before reading. This avoids writing the database
once per file, instead it will buffer 1000 changes before writing.
Benchmarking getting 1000 small files from a local origin,
git-annex get now takes 13.62s, down from 22.41s!
git-annex drop now takes 9.07s, down from 18.63s!
Wowowowowowowow!
(It would perhaps have been better if there were separate databases for
the two tables. At least it would have avoided this complexity. Ah well,
this is better than splitting the table in a annex.version upgrade.)

avoid flushing keys db queue after each Annex action
The flush was only done Annex.run' to make sure that the queue was flushed
before git-annex exits. But, doing it there means that as soon as one
change gets queued, it gets flushed soon after, which contributes to
excessive writes to the database, slowing git-annex down.
(This does not yet speed git-annex up, but it is a stepping stone to
doing so.)
Database queues do not autoflush when garbage collected, so have to
be flushed explicitly. I don't think it's possible to make them
autoflush (except perhaps if git-annex sqitched to using ResourceT..).
The comment in Database.Keys.closeDb used to be accurate, since the
automatic flushing did mean that all writes reached the database even
when closeDb was not called. But now, closeDb or flushDb needs to be
called before stopping using an Annex state. So, removed that comment.
In Remote.Git, change to using quiesce everywhere that it used to use
stopCoProcesses. This means that uses on onLocal in there are just as
slow as before. I considered only calling closeDb on the local git remotes
when git-annex exits. But, the reason that Remote.Git calls stopCoProcesses
in each onLocal is so as not to leave git processes running that have files
open on the remote repo, when it's on removable media. So, it seemed to make
sense to also closeDb after each one, since sqlite may also keep files
open. Although that has not seemed to cause problems with removable
media so far. It was also just easier to quiesce in each onLocal than
once at the end. This does likely leave performance on the floor, so
could be revisited.
In Annex.Content.saveState, there was no reason to close the db,
flushing it is enough.
The rest of the changes are from auditing for Annex.new, and making
sure that quiesce is called, after any action that might possibly need
it.
After that audit, I'm pretty sure that the change to Annex.run' is
safe. The only concern might be that this does let more changes get
queued for write to the db, and if git-annex is interrupted, those will be
lost. But interrupting git-annex can obviously already prevent it from
writing the most recent change to the db, so it must recover from such
lost data... right?
