The new functions much better convey the intent behind the lock
request. This allows cleanly integrating noLock (for read) and dryRun
(write/exclusive) handling.
There are only minor changes to existing behavior with two exceptions:
- `tag` no longer accepts the `--no-lock` flag. As it replaces files in
the repository, this always requires an exclusive lock.
- `debug examine` now returns an error if both `--extract-pack` and
`--no-lock` are given.
This change better resembles the output generated by `Snapshot.String()`,
which includes both username and hostname.
Closes #4506

The previous approach of rewriting all snapshots first, then flushing
the repository data and finally removing old snapshots has the downside
that an interrupted command execution leaves behind broken snapshots as
not all new data is already flushed.
The files in a tree must be sorted in lexical order. However, this
cannot be guaranteed when appending a filename suffix. For two files
file, file.rep
where "file" is broken, this would result in
file.repaired, file.rep
which is no longer sorted.
In addition, adding a filename suffix is also prone to filename
collisions which would require a rather complex search for a
collision-free name in order to work reliably.
Simplify CLI options:
* Rename "DeleteSnapshots" to "Forget"
* Replace "AddTag" and "Append" with hardcoded values
Change output and snapshot modifications to be more in line with the
"rewrite" command.
