To clear the status lines, they should be set to an empty array to
prevent future updates of those lines. Setting the status lines to an
array containing an empty string is wrong as this causes the output to
continuously add that empty status line after each message.
`writeStatus` also cleans no longer used status lines.
The old code actually cleaned one line too much. However, as that line
was never used it makes no difference.
x/text/width.LookupRune has to re-encode its argument as UTF-8,
while LookupString operates on the UTF-8 directly.
The uint casts get rid of a bounds check.

Previously the progress bar / status update interval used
stdoutIsTerminal to determine whether it is possible to update the
progress bar or not. However, its implementation differed from the
detection within the backup command which included additional checks to
detect the presence of mintty on Windows. mintty behaves like a terminal
but uses pipes for communication.
This adds stdoutCanUpdateStatus() which calls the same terminal detection
code used by backup. This ensures that all commands consistently switch
between interactive and non-interactive terminal mode.
stdoutIsTerminal() now also returns true whenever stdoutCanUpdateStatus()
does so. This is required to properly handle the special case of mintty.
On shutdown the backup commands waits for the terminal output goroutine
to stop. However while running in the background the goroutine ignored
the canceled context.
The previous implementation was repeating the implementation that is
found inside of io.WriteString. Simplify by making use of the stdlib's
implementation.
This now keeps the cursor at the first column of the first status line
so that messages printed to stdout or stderr by some other part of the
progarm will still be visible. The message will overwrite the status
lines, but those are easily reprinted on the next status update.
