Do we really need that?

I'd rather a nicer name for the new command.
And I'd like it to address some of the other needs of backends,
e.g. paying attention to vc-<backend>-program.  So I think we should
look at the calls to vc-do-command (and to
call-process/start-process/...) in backends to try and design the
successor to vc-do-command.
