Linux allows the use of non-`user.` extended attributes on symlinks. One
of the main users of this functionality is SELinux's `security.selinux`
xattr for storing a path's label. By storing symlink xattrs, restic is
now suitable for backing up the root filesystem on Linux distributions
that use SELinux.
This commit adds support for symlink xattrs when backing up data,
restoring data, and mounting snapshots via a fuse mount. All calls to
the xattr library have been updated to the use `L` variants of the
various functions, which always operate on the path given, without
following symlinks.

The ETA restic displays was based on a rate computed across the entire
backup operation. Often restic can progress at uneven rates. In the worst
case, restic progresses over most of the backup at a very high rate and
then finds new data to back up. The displayed ETA is then unrealistic and
never adapts.
Restic now estimates the transfer rate based on a sliding window, with the
goal of adapting to observed changes in rate. To avoid wild changes in the
estimate, several heuristics are used to keep the sliding window wide
enough to be relatively stable.
Modifies format module to add options for human readable storage size formatting, using size parsing already in ui/format.
Cmd flag --human-readable added to ls and find commands.
Additional option added to formatNode to support printing size in regular or new human readable format
restic must be able to refresh lock files in time. However, large
uploads over slow connections can cause the lock refresh to be stuck
behind the large uploads and thus time out.
Since 0.15 (#4020), inodes are generated as hashes of names, xor'd with
the parent inode. That means that the inode of a/b/b is
h(a/b/b) = h(a) ^ h(b) ^ h(b) = h(a).
I.e., the grandchild has the same inode as the grandparent. GNU find
trips over this because it thinks it has encountered a loop in the
filesystem, and fails to search a/b/b. This happens more generally when
the same name occurs an even number of times.
Fix this by multiplying the parent by a large prime, so the combining
operation is not longer symmetric in its arguments. This is what the FNV
hash does, which we used prior to 0.15. The hash is now
h(a/b/b) = h(b) ^ p*(h(b) ^ p*h(a))
Note that we already ensure that h(x) is never zero.
Collisions can still occur, but they should be much less likely to occur
within a single path.
Fixes #4253.
