Sending data through a channel at very high frequency is extremely
inefficient. Thus use simple callbacks instead of channels.

Previously, SaveAndEncrypt would assemble blobs into packs and either
return immediately if the pack is not yet full or upload the pack file
otherwise. The upload will block the current goroutine until it
finishes.
Now, the upload is done using separate goroutines. This requires changes
to the error handling. As uploads are no longer tied to a SaveAndEncrypt
call, failed uploads are signaled using an errgroup.
To count the uploaded amount of data, the pack header overhead is no
longer returned by `packer.Finalize` but rather by
`packer.HeaderOverhead`. This helper method is necessary to continue
returning the pack header overhead directly to the responsible call to
`repository.SaveBlob`. Without the method this would not be possible,
as packs are finalized asynchronously.
There were three loops over the index in restic prune, to find
duplicates, to determine sizes (in pack.Size) and to generate packInfos.
These three are now one loop. This way, prune doesn't need to construct
a set of duplicate blobs, pack.Size doesn't need to contain special
logic for prune's use case (the onlyHdr argument) and pack.Size doesn't
need to construct a map only to have it immediately transformed into a
different map.
Some quick testing on a 160GiB local repo doesn't show running time or
memory use of restic prune --dry-run changing significantly.
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.
The io.Reader interface does not support contexts, such that it is
necessary to embed the context into the backendReaderAt struct. This has
the problem that a reader might suddenly stop working when it's
contained context is canceled. However, this is now problem here as the
reader instances never escape the calling function.
The method only ever receives *hashing.Writers, which don't implement
io.Closer. These come from packerManager.findPacker and have their
actual writers closed in Repository.savePacker. Moving the closing logic
to hashing.Writer results in "file already closed" errors.
As mentioned in issue [#1560](https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1560#issuecomment-364689346)
this changes the signature for `backend.Save()`. It now takes a
parameter of interface type `RewindReader`, so that the backend
implementations or our `RetryBackend` middleware can reset the reader to
the beginning and then retry an upload operation.
The `RewindReader` interface also provides a `Length()` method, which is
used in the backend to get the size of the data to be saved. This
removes several ugly hacks we had to do to pull the size back out of the
`io.Reader` passed to `Save()` before. In the `s3` and `rest` backend
this is actively used.
This pulls the header reads into a function that works in terms of the
number of records requested. This preserves the existing logic of
initially reading 15 records and then falling back if that fails.
In the event of a header with more than 15 records, it will read all
records, including the already-seen final 15 records.
Load pack header length and 15 header entries with single backend
request. This eliminates separate header Load() request for most pack
files and significantly improves index.New() performance.
