Peter Schultz 90fc639a67 Allow specifying user and host when adding keys
The username and hostname for new keys can be specified with the new
--user and --host flags, respectively. The flags are used only by the
`key add` command and are otherwise ignored.

This allows adding keys with for a desired user and host without having
to run restic as that particular user on that particular host, making
automated key management easier.

Enhancement: Allow specifying user and host when creating keys
When adding a new key to the repository, the username and hostname for the new
key can be specified on the command line. This allows overriding the defaults,
for example if you would prefer to use the FQDN to identify the host or if you
want to add keys for several different hosts without having to run the key add
command on those hosts.
