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
If a request fails with "x509: certificate signed by unknown authority",
the B2 backend now returns the error without retrying the request.
Closes #3556
Closes #2355
When deleting a file, B2 sometimes returns a "500 Service Unavailable"
error but nevertheless correctly deletes the file. Due to retries in
the B2 library blazer, we sometimes also see a "400 File not present"
error. The retries of restic for the delete request then fail with
"404 File with such name does not exist.".
As we have to rely on request retries in a distributed system to handle
temporary errors, also consider a delete request to be successful if the
file is reported as not existing. This should be safe as B2 claims to
provide a strongly consistent bucket listing and thus a missing file
shouldn't mysteriously show up again later on.
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.
