backend/sftp: Add sftp.args option
...
Allow setting custom arguments for the `sftp` backend, by using the
`sftp.args` option. This is similar to the approach already implemented
in the `rclone` backend, to support new arguments without requiring
future code changes for each different SSH argument.
Closes #4241

Include inode in JSON output for find and ls
...
This introduces the inode attribute to the JSON output emitted for nodes
in `ls` and matches in `find`. There doesn't seem to be any discernible
reason to omit the inode and it can be useful in scripting scenarios.

Add a global option --retry-lock

Fixes restic#719
If the option is passed, restic will wait the specified duration of time
and retry locking the repo every 10 seconds (or more often if the total
timeout is relatively small).
- Play nice with json output
- Reduce wait time in lock tests
- Rework timeout last attempt
- Reduce test wait time to 0.1s
- Use exponential back off for the retry lock
- Don't pass gopts to lockRepo functions
- Use global variable for retry sleep setup
- Exit retry lock on cancel
- Better wording for flag help
- Reorder debug statement
- Refactor tests
- Lower max sleep time to 1m
- Test that we cancel/timeout in time
- Use non blocking sleep function
- Refactor into minDuration func

add --disable-scanner to backup command

The scanner process has only cosmetic effect for the progress printer,
and can be disabled without impacting functionality when the user does
not need an estimate of completion.
In many cases the scanner process can provide beneficial priming of
the file system cache, so as general advice it should not be disabled.
However, tests have shown that backup of NFS and fuse based filesystems,
where stat(2) is relatively expensive, can be significantly faster
without the scanner.

copy: replace --repo2 with --from-repo
...
`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.

doc: Add note about using rclone for Google Drive
...
It wasn't clear that Google Cloud Storage and Google Drive are two different services and that one should use the rclone backend for the latter. This commit adds a note with this information.

doc: specify AWS Region via AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
...
If no specific Region is mentioned in RESTIC_REPOSITORY, AWS defaults to
us-east-1. For this reason, users that follow the tutorial and create
their S3 bucket in any other region get the following error:
"Fatal: create repository at [...] client.BucketExists"
Explicitly specifying the AWS region name fixes the issue.

prune: Add unsafe option to recover from no free space
...
The new option allows prune to operate with nearly no scratch space by only removing
no longer necessary pack files and first deleting the index before
rebuilding it. By first deleting the index it becomes safe to just
delete no longer necessary pack files. However, as a downside there's
now the risk that the repository becomes inaccessible if prune fails.
To recover from that problem a user might have to manually delete the
repository index and then run (a full) `rebuild-index` again.
