sqlite datbase for importfeed
importfeed: Use caching database to avoid needing to list urls on every
run, and avoid using too much memory.
Benchmarking in my podcasts repo, importfeed got 1.42 seconds faster,
and memory use dropped from 203000k to 59408k.
Database.ImportFeed is Database.ContentIdentifier with the serial number
filed off. There is a bit of code duplication I would like to avoid,
particularly recordAnnexBranchTree, and getAnnexBranchTree. But these use
the persistent sqlite tables, so despite the code being the same, they
cannot be factored out.
Since this database includes the contentidentifier metadata, it will be
slightly redundant if a sqlite database is ever added for metadata. I
did consider making such a generic database and using it for this. But,
that would then need importfeed to update both the url database and the
metadata database, which is twice as much work diffing the git-annex
branch trees. Or would entagle updating two databases in a complex way.
So instead it seems better to optimise the database that
importfeed needs, and if the metadata database is used by another command,
use a little more disk space and do a little bit of redundant work to
update it.

Fix crash of enableremote when the special remote has embedcreds=yes
The crash occurred because writeCreds got called twice, and writeFileProtected
neglected to close its file handle, so the file was open for write when
written the second time.
It seems unncessary and suboptimal that writeCreds gets called twice.
One call is from getRemoteCredPair and the other from setRemoteCredPair'.
What happens is that in the enableremote case, code that also runs at
initremote does unncessary work. Might be possible to improve that, but
I've gone for the simple fix.

only stage regular files from the journal
git-annex only writes regular files there, but other things may drop junk
like empty .DAV directories around the tree. And trying to hash such things
can have weird and hard to understand effects. So it seems best to do a
small amount of work in statting the journal file to make sure it's a
regular file.
This drops a full recompile on my new 12 core laptop from 4:00 to 2:47.
It would be possible for me to use:
cabal configure --ghc-options=-j
But that also makes cabal parallelize ghc for each package it installs
to satisfy git-annex's dependencies. Since cabal is already configured
to parallize installing dependencies, that would use N^2 cpu cores,
which seems like a bad idea.
And also I'd have to remember to do it.
So I'm thinking it's better to do it by default. If a system that is
building git-annex is also busy with other things, let the scheduler
sort it out. If this impacts someone particularly badly, they can of
course avoid it with:
cabal configure --ghc-options=-j1
Support being built with crypton rather than cryptonite
crypton is a fork of cryptonite, and cryptonite's github repo has been
archived. Some deps are already using cryptonite so it's clearly the way
forward.
Added a build flag without a default, so cabal configure will select on its
own which to use. stack files pin to cryptonite for now.

remove incorrect documentation of annex.skipunknown behavior
git-annex get with no parameters and annex.skipunknown = false
in a directory with no files tracked by git results in the same
failure as with a "." parameter.
It may be that git ls-files --error-unmatch changed behavior? Or this
was just wrong.
push: When on an adjusted branch, propagate changes to parent branch before
updating export remotes.
This is a somewhat redundant call to propigateAdjustedCommits, since it
also gets called at pushLocal time. That other one needs to come after
importing from importtree remotes though, and seekExportContent has to come
earlier, so I don't see a way to avoid doing it twice.
Note that git-annex sync also manages to avoid the problem, it's only
git-annex push that had the bug.
improve warning message when unable to update export
A misleading message was displayed in several cases.
If the user has run eg: git config
remote.push-win-remote.annex-tracking-branch 'adjusted/main(unlocked)'
That is not supported, and now it will tell them it's not a valid
configuration. A user reported doing that, but I don't know if it's a
common point of confusion. If it is a common problem, a better message
would be possible, or it could convert back from the adjusted branch to
the actual branch.
Avoids some problems with unusual character in exporttree filenames
that confuse adb shell commands.
In particular, with a filename that contains \351, adb push sends the file
to the correct filename in /sdcard. And running find on the android device
roundtrips the filename. But, running mv on that filename on the android
device fails with "bad <filename>: No such file or directory".
Interestingly, ls on android works, and rm fails.
adb push to the final name to avoids this problem. But what about
atomicity? Well, I tried an adb push and interrupted it part way through.
The file was present while the push was running, but was removed once the
push got interrupted. I also tried yanking the cable while adb push was
running, and the partially received file was also deleted then. That avoids
most problems.
An import that runs at the same time as an export will see the partially
sent file. But that is unlikely to be done, and if it did happen, it would
notice that the imported file had changed in the meantime and discard it.
Note that, since rm on the android device fails on these filenames,
exporting a tree where the file is deleted is going to fail to remove it. I
don't see what I can do about that, so long as android is using an rm that
has issues with filename encodings.
This was tested on a phone where find, ls, and rm all come from Toybox 0.8.6.
