 addurl: Added a --file option

Can be used to specify what file the url is added to. This can be used to
override the default filename that is used when adding an url, which is
based on the url. Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as
another location of the file.

Commit by joeyh on master :: rd8fb97806c43 / (12 files in 4 dirs):
 support all filename encodings with ghc 7.4

Under ghc 7.4, this seems to be able to handle all filename encodings
again. Including filename encodings that do not match the LANG setting.
I think this will not work with earlier versions of ghc, it uses some ghc
internals.

Turns out that ghc 7.4 has a special filesystem encoding that it uses when
reading/writing filenames (as FilePaths). This encoding is documented
to allow  "arbitrary undecodable bytes to be round-tripped through it".

So, to get FilePaths from eg, git ls-files, set the Handle that is reading
from git to use this encoding. Then things basically just work.

However, I have not found a way to make Text read using this encoding.
Text really does assume unicode. So I had to switch back to using String
when reading/writing data to git. Which is a pity, because it's some
percent slower, but at least it works.

Note that stdout and stderr also have to be set to this encoding, or
printing out filenames that contain undecodable bytes causes a crash.
IMHO this is a misfeature in ghc, that the user can pass you a filename,
which you can readFile, etc, but that default, putStr of filename may
cause a crash!

Git.CheckAttr gave me special trouble, because the filenames I got back
from git, after feeding them in, had further encoding breakage.
Rather than try to deal with that, I just zip up the input filenames
with the attributes. Which must be returned in the same order queried
for this to work.

Also of note is an apparent GHC bug I worked around in Git.CheckAttr. It
used to forkProcess and feed git from the child process.  Unfortunatly,
after this forkProcess, accessing the `files` variable from the parent
returns []. Not the value that was passed into the function. This screams
of a bad bug, that's clobbering a variable, but for now I just avoid
forkProcess there to work around it. That forkProcess was itself only added
because of a ghc bug, #624389. I've confirmed that the test case for that
bug doesn't reproduce it with ghc 7.4. So that's ok, except for the new ghc
bug I have not isolated and reported. Why does this simple bit of code
magnet the ghc bugs? :)

Also, the symlink touching code is currently broken, when used on utf-8
filenames in a non-utf-8 locale, or probably on any filename containing
undecodable bytes, and I temporarily commented it out.

Commit by joeyh on master :: r1b6c1895784d /IkiWiki/Plugin/git.pm:
 fix display of page name in recentchanges after a revert

When the wiki is in a subdir of the git repo, a web revert would show
in recentchanges as eg, doc/index, instead of just index.

This happened because decode_git_file caches a $prefix that is dependant
on the $git_dir setting, and the revert code runs with a different
$git_dir, which polluted the $prefix for later.

Fix this by adding a with_git_dir that juggles the variables properly.
