Enhancement: Improve the ETA displayed during backup
Enhancement: Improve accuracy of ETA displayed during backup
Restic's `backup` command displayed an ETA that did not adapt when the rate
of progress made during the backup changed during the course of the
backup. Restic now uses recent progress when computing the ETA. It is
important to realize that the estimate may still be wrong, because restic
cannot predict the future, but the hope is that the ETA will be more
accurate in most cases.
