f9dded83b3 doc/050_restore.rst: Mention that restic restore is fastest
Especially with lots of files (like when backing up git repos),
restic mount + cp -r can be really slow.

Add a global option --retry-lock
Fixes restic#719

If the option is passed, restic will wait the specified duration of time
and retry locking the repo every 10 seconds (or more often if the total
timeout is relatively small).

- Play nice with json output
- Reduce wait time in lock tests
- Rework timeout last attempt
- Reduce test wait time to 0.1s
- Use exponential back off for the retry lock
- Don't pass gopts to lockRepo functions
- Use global variable for retry sleep setup
- Exit retry lock on cancel
- Better wording for flag help
- Reorder debug statement
- Refactor tests
- Lower max sleep time to 1m
- Test that we cancel/timeout in time
- Use non blocking sleep function
- Refactor into minDuration func

732184a849 Correct maximum verbosity level in help message
The maximum for `--verbose=n` is n=2. Internally it is translated into a
scale from 0 to 3. However, the default (without verbose) is 1, thus the
verbosity level can only be increased two times.

14aa6f2a00 add --disable-scanner to backup command
The scanner process has only cosmetic effect for the progress printer,
and can be disabled without impacting functionality when the user does
not need an estimate of completion.

In many cases the scanner process can provide beneficial priming of
the file system cache, so as general advice it should not be disabled.
However, tests have shown that backup of NFS and fuse based filesystems,
where stat(2) is relatively expensive, can be significantly faster
without the scanner.

2758d76b77 copy: replace --repo2 with --from-repo
`init` and `copy` use `--repo2` with two different meaning which has
proven to be confusing for users. `--from-repo` now consistently marks a
source repository from which data is read. `--repo` is now always the
target/destination repository.
