Previously the global context was either accessed via gopts.ctx,
stored in a local variable and then used within that function or
sometimes both. This makes it very hard to follow which ctx or a wrapped
version of it reaches which method.
Thus just drop the context from the globalOptions struct and pass it
explicitly to every command line handler method.
`init` and `copy` use `--repo2` with two different meaning which has
proven to be confusing for users. `--from-repo` now consistently marks a
source repository from which data is read. `--repo` is now always the
target/destination repository.
These commands filter the snapshots according to some criteria which
essentially requires loading the index before filtering the snapshots.
Thus create a copy of the snapshots list beforehand and use it later on.
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.
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.

This avoids problems when for some reason the JSON encoding changes.
This also ensures forward compatibility with future restic versions
which might e.g. add new fields to the tree metadata.
This assigns an id to each tree root and then keeps track of how many
tree loads (i.e. trees referenced for the first time) are pending per
tree root. Once a tree root and its subtrees were fully processed there
are no more pending tree loads and the tree root is reported as
processed.
This allows creating multiple repositories with identical chunker
parameters which is required for working deduplication when copying
snapshots between different repositories.
Use the `Original` field of the copied snapshot to store a persistent
snapshot ID. This can either be the ID of the source snapshot if
`Original` was not yet set or the previous value stored in the
`Original` field. In order to still copy snapshots modified using the
tags command the source snapshot is compared to all snapshots in the
destination repository which have the same persistent ID. Snapshots are
only considered equal if all fields except `Original` and `Parent`
match. That way modified snapshots are still copied while avoiding
duplicate copies at the same time.
Add a copy command to copy snapshots between repositories. It allows the user
to specify a destination repository, password, password-file, password-command
or key-hint to supply the necessary details to open the destination repository.
You need to supply a list of snapshots to copy, snapshots which already exist
in the destination repository will be skipped.
Note, when using the network this becomes rather slow, as it needs to read the
blocks, decrypt them using the source key, then encrypt them again using the
destination key before finally writing them out to the destination repository.
