Long day, but I did finally finish up with gcrypt support. More or less.

Got both creating and enabling existing gcrypt repositories on ssh servers working in the webapp. (But I ran out of time to make it detect when the user is manually entering a gcrypt repo that already exists. Should be easy so maybe tomorrow.)

Fixed several bugs in git-annex's gcrypt support that turned up in testing. Made git-annex ensure that a gcrypt repository does not have receive.denyNonFastForwards set, because gcrypt relies on always forcing the push of the branch it stores its manifest on. Fixed a bug in git-annex-shell recvkey when it was receiving a file from an annex in direct mode.

Also had to add a new git annex shell gcryptsetup command, which is needed to make setting up a gcrypt repository work when the assistant has set up a locked-down ssh key that can only run git-annex-shell. Painted myself into a bit of a corner there.

And tested, tested, tested. So many possibilities and edge cases in this part of the code..
