git-annex: fix the build in LTS 12.x
git-annex depends on 'esqueleto', which is not actively maintained. As a result, 'esqueleto' fails to compile with recent versions of 'persistent', which in turns requires us to link with old versions of 'conduit' and so on and so forth. It's a disaster. I wasted several hours of my life trying to make that build work, but eventually I gave up and dropped support for S3 and for the Web app from git-annex to get rid of the most problematic dependencies. That reduced version of git-annex is still difficult enough to compile, but at least it's possible.
