Enhancement: Add config option to set SFTP command arguments

The `sftp.args` option can be passed to restic (using `-o`) to specify
custom arguments to be used by the SSH command executed by the SFTP
backend.

Before this change, a common scenario where a custom identity file was
needed for the SSH connection, required the full command to be
specified:
`-o sftp.command='ssh user@host:port -i /ssh/my_private_key -s sftp'`

With this new configuration option:
`-o sftp.args='-i /ssh/my_private_key'`

backend/sftp: Add sftp.args option Allow setting custom arguments for the `sftp` backend, by using the `sftp.args` option. This is similar to the approach already implemented in the `rclone` backend, to support new arguments without requiring future code changes for each different SSH argument.
