rewrite: Always set the Original field in a rewritten snapshot The Original field is meant to remember the original snapshot id if e.g. changing its tags. It was only set by the `rewrite` command if it was not set previously. However, a rewritten snapshot is potentially rather different from the original snapshot. Thus just always set the Original field. This also makes it easier to later on detect and potentially remove the original snapshots. 2022-12-10 11:40:41 +00:00			`https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/4079`
