Enhancement: Adapt IO concurrency based on backend connections
Many commands used hard-coded limits for the number of concurrent operations.
This prevented speed improvements by increasing the number of connections used
by a backend.
These limits have been replaced by using the configured number of backend
connections instead. It can be controlled using the
`-o <backend-name>.connections=5` option. Commands will then automatically
scale their parallelism accordingly.
To limit the number of CPU cores used by restic, you can set the environment
variable `GOMAXPROCS` accordingly. For example to use a single CPU core, use
`GOMAXPROCS=1`.
