Bugfix: Never lock repository for `list locks`
The `list locks` command previously locked to the repository by default. This
had the problem that it wouldn't work for an exclusively locked repository and
that the command would also display its own lock file which can be confusing.
Now, the `list locks` command never locks the repository.

Enhancement: Add `--dry-run`/`-n` option to `backup` command
Testing exclude filters and other configuration options was error prone as
wrong filters could cause files to be uploaded unintentionally. It was also
not possible to estimate beforehand how much data would be uploaded.
The `backup` command now has a `--dry-run`/`-n` option, which performs all the
normal steps of a backup without actually writing anything to the repository.
Passing -vv will log information about files that would be added, allowing for
verification of source and exclusion options before running the real backup.

Enhancement: Add upload checksum for Azure, GS, S3 and Swift backends
Previously only the B2 and partially the Swift backends verified the integrity
of uploaded (encrypted) files. The verification works by informing the backend
about the expected hash of the uploaded file. The backend then verifies the
upload and thereby rules out any data corruption during upload.
We have now added upload checksums for the Azure, GS, S3 and Swift backends,
which besides integrity checking for uploads also means that restic can now be
used to store backups in S3 buckets which have Object Lock enabled.

Enhancement: Support negative include/exclude patterns
If a pattern starts with an exclamation mark and it matches a file that was
previously matched by a regular pattern, the match is cancelled. Notably,
this can be used with `--exclude-file` to cancel the exclusion of some files.
It works similarly to `.gitignore`, with the same limitation; Once a directory
is excluded, it is not possible to include files inside the directory.
Example of use as an exclude pattern for the `backup` command:
$HOME/**/*
!$HOME/Documents
!$HOME/code
!$HOME/.emacs.d
!$HOME/games
# [...]
node_modules
*~
*.o
*.lo
*.pyc
# [...]
$HOME/code/linux/*

Bugfix: Make cache crash-resistant and usable by multiple concurrent processes
The restic cache directory (`RESTIC_CACHE_DIR`) could end up in a broken state
in the event of restic (or the OS) crashing. This is now less likely to occur
as files are downloaded to a temporary location before being moved to their
proper location.
This also allows multiple concurrent restic processes to operate on a single
repository without conflicts. Previously, concurrent operations could cause
segfaults because the processes saw each other's partially downloaded files.

Bugfix: Improve error handling of repository locking
Previously, when the lock refresh failed to delete the old lock file, it forgot
about the newly created one. Instead it continued trying to delete the old
(usually no longer existing) lock file and thus over time lots of lock files
accumulated. This has now been fixed.

Bugfix: Fix rclone backend prematurely exiting when receiving SIGINT on Windows
Previously, pressing Ctrl+C in a Windows console where restic was running with
rclone as the backend would cause rclone to exit prematurely due to getting a
`SIGINT` signal at the same time as restic. Restic would then wait for a long
time for time with "unexpected EOF" and "rclone stdio connection already closed"
errors.
This has now been fixed by restic starting the rclone process detached from the
console restic runs in (similar to starting processes in a new process group on
Linux), which enables restic to gracefully clean up rclone (which now never gets
the `SIGINT`).

Change: Ignore parent snapshot for `backup --stdin`
Restic uses a parent snapshot to speed up directory scanning when performing
backups, but this only wasted time and memory when the backup source is stdin
(using the `--stdin` option of the `backup` command), since no directory scanning
is performed in this case.
Snapshots made with `backup --stdin` no longer have a parent snapshot, which allows
restic to skip some startup operations and saves a bit of resources.
The `--parent` option is still available for `backup --stdin`, but is now ignored.

Enhancement: Verify that new or modified keys are stored correctly
When adding a new key or changing the password of a key, restic used to just
create the new key (and remove the old one, when changing the password). There
was no verification that the new key was stored correctly and works properly.
As the repository cannot be decrypted without a valid key file, this could in
rare cases cause the repository to become inaccessible.
Restic now checks that new key files actually work before continuing. This
can protect against some (rare) cases of hardware or storage problems.

Enhancement: Improve local backend's resilience to (system) crashes
Restic now ensures that files stored using the `local` backend are created
atomically (that is, files are either stored completely or not at all). This
ensures that no incomplete files are left behind even if restic is terminated
while writing a file.
In addition, restic now tries to ensure that the directory in the repository
which contains a newly uploaded file is also written to disk. This can prevent
missing files if the system crashes or the disk is not properly unmounted.

Enhancement: Cache blobs read by the `dump` command

the `dump` command. This makes dumping much faster, especially for sparse files.
