So no worry about external VC backends? Like these ones:
vc-darcs
vc-fossil
vc-hgcmd
vc-msg
vc-osc

Not exactly. vc-call-backend has its own fallback mechanism (using
project--files-in-directory there would be kinda awkward), but if we do
all the checks in one place, we don't have to use it.
Further, normally when somebody adds an implementation of a VC action
for some backend, it's a good thing, even if the implementation is
imperfect. Not so in this case.
Using a defcustom for "which backends are capable" is also out of line
with general VC usage.
In any case, we should push the new feature first. The decision whether
the functionality should move to a VC action can happen later.
