Parallelize blob upload/download for restic copy

Browse Source 
Currently restic copy will copy each blob from every snapshot serially,
which has performance implications on high-latency backends such as b2.

This commit introduces 8x parallelism for blob downloads/uploads which
can improve restic copy operations up to 8x for repositories with many
small blobs on b2.

This commit also addresses the TODO comment in the copyTree function.

A more thorough improvement of the restic copy performance can be found
in PR #3513

Enhancement: Improve restic copy performance by parallelizing IO
Restic copy previously only used a single thread for copying blobs between
repositories, which resulted in limited performance when copying small blobs
to/from a high latency backend (i.e. any remote backend, especially b2).
Copying will now use 8 parallel threads to increase the throughput of the copy
operation.
