1. gvfs-helper: don't fallback with new config …

   By default, GVFS Protocol-enabled Scalar clones will fall back to the
   origin server if there is a network issue with the cache servers.
   However (and especially for the prefetch endpoint) this may be a very
   expensive operation for the origin server, leading to the user being
   throttled. This shows up later in cases such as 'git push' or other web
   operations.
   
   To avoid this, create a new config option, 'gvfs.fallback', which
   defaults to true. When set to 'false', pass '--no-fallback' from the
   gvfs-helper client to the child gvfs-helper server process.
   
   This will allow users who have hit this problem to avoid it in the
   future. In case this becomes a more widespread problem, engineering
   systems can enable the config option more broadly.
   
   Enabling the config will of course lead to immediate failures for users,
   but at least that will help diagnose the problem when it occurs instead
   of later when the throttling shows up and the server load has already
   passed, damage done.
