The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot
could be created successfully, even if some of the source files could not
be read (in which case the snapshot would contain the rest of the files).
This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete
backups by looking at the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit
codes for the backup command:
- 0 when the command was successful
- 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created)
- 3 when some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)
The username and hostname for new keys can be specified with the new
--user and --host flags, respectively. The flags are used only by the
`key add` command and are otherwise ignored.
This allows adding keys with for a desired user and host without having
to run restic as that particular user on that particular host, making
automated key management easier.

The `dump`, `find`, `forget`, `ls`, `mount`, `restore`, `snapshots`,
`stats` and `tag` commands will now take into account multiple
`--host` and `-H` flags.
This adds a test of the json output of the forget command, by running it
once, asking it to keep one snapshot, and verifying that the output has
the right number of snapshots listed in the Keep and Remove fields of
the result.
Before:
$ restic list
Fatal: type not specified
After:
$ restic list
Fatal: type not specified, usage: list [blobs|packs|index|snapshots|keys|locks]
Closes #1783
Backup was choosing a parent snapshot that had the same tags, which
makes backup unnecessarily slow when there are newer snapshots with
different tags.
There's no reason parent has to have the same tags.
This change makes backup choose the newest snapshot instead.
Switch from a function passed as a parameter to a cleanup function,
which is also executed when the test function panics, so no temporary
directories are left behind.
