find: Support --print0
It would be nice if command-specific options were supported. The first difficulty is that which command is being called is not known until after getopt; but that could be worked around by finding the first non-dashed parameter. Storing the settings without putting them in the annex monad is the next difficulty; it could perhaps be handled by making the seek stage pass applicable settings into the start stage (and from there on to perform as needed). But that still leaves a problem, what data type to use to represent the options between getopt and seek?

It would be nice if git annex find supported a --print0 option as GNU
find does. That way, file names that are printed could be piped to
xargs even if they have spaces.
