It was only used in two places:
- stats: apparently as a minor performance optimization, which is
unlikely to be important
- find: filtered directories would be ignored. However, this
optimization missed that it is possible that two directories have the
exact same content. Such directories would be incorrectly ignored too.
Example:
```
mkdir test test/a test/b
restic backup test
restic find latest test/b
-> incorrectly does not return anything
```
Thus, remove the functionality as it's apparently too complex to use
correctly.
rclone returns a "not found" error if an internal error occurs while
listing a folder. Ignoring this error lets restic erroneously think that
there are no files, which can cause `prune` to wipe the whole
repository.
Writing these blobs to their files can take a long time and consequently
cause the backend connection to time out. Avoid that by retrieving these
blobs separately.

If an error occurred while streaming a pack file, this could result in
passing some of the blobs multiple times to the callback function. This
significantly complicates using StreamPack correctly and is unnecessary.
Retries do not change the content of a blob and thus only deliver the
same result over and over again.
Since Go 1.21, most reparse points are considered as irregular files.
Depending on the underlying driver these can exhibit nearly arbitrary
behavior. When encountering such a file, restic returned an
indecipherable error message: `error: invalid node type ""`.
Add the filepath to the error message and state that the file type is
not supported.
When using the `copy` command, `--from-password-file` and `--from-password-command` flags are used to specify the password of the source repository, not of the destination repository.
When using `RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE` in combination with `restic init`,
the repository is missing in the output:
```
$ restic init
created restic repository 3c872be20f at
[...]
```
This is due to the code using `gopts.Repo`, which is empty in this case.
