Ignored packs were reported as an empty pack by EachByPack. The most
immediate effect of this is that the progress bar for rebuilding the
index reports processing more packs than actually exist.
A compressed index is only about one third the size of an uncompressed
one. Thus increase the number of entries in an index to avoid cluttering
the repository with small indexes.
A side remark to the definition of Index.blob:
Another possibility would have been to use:
blob map[restic.BlobHandle]*indexEntry
This would have led to the following sizes:
key: 32 + 1 = 33 bytes
value: 8 bytes
indexEntry: 8 + 4 + 4 = 16 bytes
each packID: 32 bytes
To save N index entries, we would therefore have needed:
N * OF * (33 + 8) bytes + N * 16 + N * 32 bytes / BP = N * 82 bytes
More precicely, using a pointer instead of a direct entry is the better memory choice if:
OF * 8 bytes + entrysize < OF * entrysize <=> entrysize > 8 bytes * OF/(OF-1)
Under the assumption of OF=1.5, this means using pointers would have been the better choice
if sizeof(indexEntry) > 24 bytes.
- The SaveBlob method now checks for duplicates.
- Moves handling of pending blobs to MasterIndex.
-> also cleans up pending index entries when they are saved in the index
-> when using SaveBlob no need to care about index any longer
- Always check for full index and save it when storing packs.
-> removes the need of an index uploader
-> also removes the verbose "uploaded intermediate index" messages
- The Flush method now also saves the index
- Fix race condition when checking and saving full/non-finalized indexes
This commit changes the signatures for repository.LoadAndDecrypt and
utils.LoadAll to allow passing in a []byte as the buffer to use. This
buffer is enlarged as needed, and returned back to the caller for
further use.
In later commits, this allows reducing allocations by reusing a buffer
for multiple calls, e.g. in a worker function.
The logging in these functions double the time they take to execute.
However, it is only really useful on failures, which are better
reported by the calling functions.

When looking up a blob in the master index, with several
indexes present in the master index, a significant amount of time
is spent generating errors for each failed lookup. However, these
errors are often used to check if a blob is present, but the contents
are not inspected making the overhead of the error not useful.
Instead, change Index.Lookup (and Index.LookupSize) to instead return
a boolean denoting if the blob was found instead of an error. Also change
all the calls to these functions to handle the new function signature.

When backing up several million files (>14M tested here) with few changes,
a large amount of time is spent failing to find an id in an index and creating
an error to signify this. Since this is checked using the Has method,
which doesn't use this error, this time creating the error is wasted.
Instead, directly check if the given id and type are present in the index.
This also avoids reporting all the packs containing this blob, further
reducing cpu usage.
