Fix failure to build with aws-0.13.0 and finish nearline support.
* Fix failure to build with aws-0.13.0. * When built with aws-0.13.0, the S3 special remote can be used to create google nearline buckets, by setting storageclass=NEARLINE.

+Nice job bgilbert on the external special remote.
+
+git-annex's S3 special remote also supports nearline now:
+
+ git annex initremote cloud type=S3 encryption=none host=storage.googleapis.com port=80 storageclass=NEARLINE
+
+For the nearline support to work, git-annex has to be built with version 0.13.0 of
+the haskell aws library.
+
+But, it seems like bgilbert's external special remote is easier to set up,
+due to not needing to configure Google Cloud Storage for interoperable access.
