Currently restic copy will copy each blob from every snapshot serially,
which has performance implications on high-latency backends such as b2.
This commit introduces 8x parallelism for blob downloads/uploads which
can improve restic copy operations up to 8x for repositories with many
small blobs on b2.
This commit also addresses the TODO comment in the copyTree function.

A more thorough improvement of the restic copy performance can be found
in PR #3513
If a request fails with "x509: certificate signed by unknown authority",
the B2 backend now returns the error without retrying the request.
Closes#3556Closes#2355
When deleting a file, B2 sometimes returns a "500 Service Unavailable"
error but nevertheless correctly deletes the file. Due to retries in
the B2 library blazer, we sometimes also see a "400 File not present"
error. The retries of restic for the delete request then fail with
"404 File with such name does not exist.".
As we have to rely on request retries in a distributed system to handle
temporary errors, also consider a delete request to be successful if the
file is reported as not existing. This should be safe as B2 claims to
provide a strongly consistent bucket listing and thus a missing file
shouldn't mysteriously show up again later on.
This can be used to check how large a backup is or validate exclusions.
It does not actually write any data to the underlying backend. This is
implemented as a simple overlay backend that accepts writes without
forwarding them, passes through reads, and generally does the minimal
necessary to pretend that progress is actually happening.

Allow keeping hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly snapshots for a given time period.
This adds the following flags/parameters to restic forget:
--keep-within-hourly duration
--keep-within-daily duration
--keep-within-weekly duration
--keep-within-monthly duration
--keep-within-yearly duration
Includes following changes:
- Add tests for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
- Add documentation for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
- Add changelog for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
This patch adds a `--latest` option to limit snapshots list to the n
last snapshots. It is very similar to the `--last` one but does not
limit to one entry. It also deprecates the `--last` flag usage in
favor of `--latest 1`
Output example:
$ restic snapshots --latest 2
repository 0d3eb989 opened successfully, password is correct

The `init` and `copy` commands can now use `--repository-file2` flag and
the `$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable.
This also fixes the conflict with the `--repository-file` and `--repo2`
flag.
Tests are added for the initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.
This adds a NOK function to the test helper functions. This NOK tests if
err is not nil, and otherwise fail the test.
With the NOK function a couple of sad paths are tested in the
initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.
In total the tests checks wether the following are passed correct:
- Password
- PasswordFile
- Repo
- RepositoryFile
The following situation must return an error to pass the test:
- no Repo or RepositoryFile defined
- Repo and RepositoryFile defined both
The error returned when finishing the upload of an object was dropped.
This could cause silent upload failures and thus data loss in certain
cases. When a MD5 hash for the uploaded blob is specified, a wrong
hash/damaged upload would return its error via the Close() whose error
was dropped.
