Enhancement: Improve local backend's resilience to (system) crashes
Restic now ensures that files stored using the `local` backend are created
atomically (that is, files are either stored completely or not at all). This
ensures that no incomplete files are left behind even if restic is terminated
while writing a file.
In addition, restic now tries to ensure that the directory in the repository
which contains a newly uploaded file is also written to disk. This can prevent
missing files if the system crashes or the disk is not properly unmounted.
