This removes RunWorkers, which had become mere overhead by successive
refactors. It also ensures that each former user of that function
returns any context error that occurs, so failure to complete an
operation is always reported as an error.
A compressed index is only about one third the size of an uncompressed
one. Thus increase the number of entries in an index to avoid cluttering
the repository with small indexes.
The config file is not compressed as it should remain readable by older
restic versions such that these can return a proper error.
As the old format for unpacked data does not include a version header,
make use of a trick: The old data is always encoded as JSON. Thus it can
only start with '{' or '['. For any other value the first byte indicates
a versioned format. The version is set to 2 for now. Then the zstd
compressed data follows.
As repack streams packs these occupy one backend connection. Uploading a
new pack also requires a backend connection. To prevent a deadlock
during repack when reaching the backend connections limit, simply limit
the repackWorker count to always leave one connection for uploading.
The repack operation copies all selected blobs from a set of pack files
into new pack files. For prune the source and destination repositories
are identical. To implement copy, just use a different source and
destination repository.
The function supports efficiently loading a specified list of blobs from
a single pack in a streaming fashion. That is there's no need for
temporary files independent of the pack size.
This enables the backends to request the calculation of a
backend-specific hash. For the currently supported backends this will
always be MD5. The hash calculation happens as early as possible, for
pack files this is during assembly of the pack file. That way the hash
would even capture corruptions of the temporary pack file on disk.
This can be used to check how large a backup is or validate exclusions.
It does not actually write any data to the underlying backend. This is
implemented as a simple overlay backend that accepts writes without
forwarding them, passes through reads, and generally does the minimal
necessary to pretend that progress is actually happening.
