Enhancement: Stricter repository lock handling
Restic commands kept running even if they failed to refresh their locks in
time. This can be a problem if a concurrent call to `unlock` and `prune`
removes data from the repository. Not refreshing a lock in time can for example
be caused by a client switching to standby while running a backup.
Lock handling is now much stricter. Commands requiring a lock are canceled if
the lock is not refreshed successfully in time.
In addition, if a lock file is not readable restic will not allow starting a
command. It may be necessary to remove invalid lock file manually or using
`unlock --remove-all`. Please make sure that no other restic processes are
running concurrently.
