Enhancement: Support `<snapshot>:<subfolder>` syntax to select subfolders
Commands like `diff` or `restore` always worked with the full snapshot. This
did not allow comparing only a specific subfolder or only restoring that folder
(`restore --include subfolder` limits the restored files, but still creates the
directories included in `subfolder`).
The commands `diff`, `dump`, `ls`, `restore` now support the
`<snapshot>:<subfolder>` syntax, where `snapshot` is the ID of a snapshot or
`latest` and `subfolder` is a path within the snapshot. The commands will then
only work with the specified path of the snapshot. The `subfolder` must be a
path to a folder as returned by `ls`.
`restic restore -t target latest:/some/path`
`restic diff 12345678:/some/path 90abcef:/some/path`
For debugging purposes, the `cat` command now supports `cat tree
<snapshot>:<subfolder>` to return the directory metadata for the given
subfolder.
