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

Browse Source 
`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.

The destination repository is specified with ``--repo2`` or can be read
from a file specified via ``--repository-file2``. Both of these options
can also set as environment variables ``$RESTIC_REPOSITORY2`` or
``$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2`` respectively. For the destination repository
the password can be read from a file ``--password-file2`` or from a command
``--password-command2``.
Alternatively the environment variables ``$RESTIC_PASSWORD_COMMAND2`` and
``$RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE2`` can be used. It is also possible to directly
pass the password via ``$RESTIC_PASSWORD2``. The key which should be used
for decryption can be selected by passing its ID via the flag ``--key-hint2``
or the environment variable ``$RESTIC_KEY_HINT2``.
The source repository is specified with ``--from-repo`` or can be read
