Enhancement: Sort snapshots by timestamp in `restic find`
The `find` command used to print snapshots in an arbitrary order. Restic now
prints snapshots sorted by timestamp.

Enhancement: Add `repair index` and `repair snapshots` commands
The `rebuild-index` command has been renamed to `repair index`. The old name
will still work, but is deprecated.
When a snapshot was damaged, the only option up to now was to completely forget
the snapshot, even if only some unimportant files in it were damaged and other
files were still fine.
Restic now has a `repair snapshots` command, which can salvage any non-damaged
files and parts of files in the snapshots by removing damaged directories and
missing file contents. Please note that the damaged data may still be lost
and see the "Troubleshooting" section in the documentation for more details.

Enhancement: Allow certificate paths to be passed through environment variables
Restic will now read paths to certificates from the environment variables
`RESTIC_CACERT` or `RESTIC_TLS_CLIENT_CERT` if `--cacert` or `--tls-client-cert`
are not specified.

Enhancement: Provide multi-platform Docker images
The official Docker images are now built for the architectures linux/386,
linux/amd64, linux/arm and linux/arm64.
As an alternative to the Docker Hub, the Docker images are also
available on ghcr.io, the GitHub Container Registry.

Enhancement: Add support for non-global Azure clouds
The `azure` backend previously only supported storages using the global domain
`core.windows.net`. This meant that backups to other domains such as Azure
China (`core.chinacloudapi.cn`) or Azure Germany (`core.cloudapi.de`) were
not supported. Restic now allows overriding the global domain using the
environment variable `AZURE_ENDPOINT_SUFFIX`.

Bugfix: Support "unlimited" in `forget --keep-*` options
Restic would previously forget snapshots that should have been kept when a
negative value was passed to the `--keep-*` options. Negative values are now
forbidden. To keep all snapshots, the special value `unlimited` is now
supported. For example, `--keep-monthly unlimited` will keep all monthly
snapshots.

Bugfix: Support non-UTF8 paths as symlink target
Earlier restic versions did not correctly `backup` and `restore` symlinks that
contain a non-UTF8 target. Note that this only affected systems that still use
a non-Unicode encoding for filesystem paths.
The repository format is now extended to add support for such symlinks. Please
note that snapshots must have been created with at least restic version 0.16.0
for `restore` to correctly handle non-UTF8 symlink targets when restoring them.

Enhancement: Reduce memory usage by up to 25%

Enhancement: Improve accuracy of ETA displayed during backup
Restic's `backup` command displayed an ETA that did not adapt when the rate of
progress made during the backup changed during the course of the backup.
Restic now uses recent progress when computing the ETA. It is important to
realize that the estimate may still be wrong, because restic cannot predict
the future, but the hope is that the ETA will be more accurate in most cases.

Enhancement: Support `<snapshot>:<subfolder>` syntax to select subfolders
Commands like `diff` or `restore` always worked with the full snapshot. This
did not allow comparing only a specific subfolder or only restoring that folder
(`restore --include subfolder` filters the restored files, but still creates the
directories included in `subfolder`).
The commands `diff`, `dump`, `ls` and `restore` now support the
`<snapshot>:<subfolder>` syntax, where `snapshot` is the ID of a snapshot (or
the string `latest`) and `subfolder` is a path within the snapshot. The
commands will then only work with the specified path of the snapshot. The
`subfolder` must be a path to a folder as returned by `ls`. Two examples:
`restic restore -t target latest:/some/path`
`restic diff 12345678:/some/path 90abcef:/some/path`
For debugging purposes, the `cat` command now supports `cat tree
<snapshot>:<subfolder>` to return the directory metadata for the given
subfolder.

Enhancement: Support `--group-by` for backup parent selection
Previously, the `backup` command by default selected the parent snapshot based
on the hostname and the backup targets. When the backup path list changed, the
`backup` command was unable to determine a suitable parent snapshot and had to
read all files again.
The new `--group-by` option for the `backup` command allows filtering snapshots
for the parent selection by `host`, `paths` and `tags`. It defaults to
`host,paths` which selects the latest snapshot with hostname and paths matching
those of the backup run. This matches the behavior of prior restic versions.
The new `--group-by` option should be set to the same value as passed to
`forget --group-by`.

Enhancement: Cancel current command if cache becomes unusable
If the cache directory was removed or ran out of space while restic was
running, this would previously cause further caching attempts to fail and
thereby drastically slow down the command execution. Now, the currently running
command is instead canceled.

Enhancement: Add `--human-readable` option to `ls` and `find` commands
Previously, when using the `-l` option with the `ls` and `find` commands, the
displayed size was always in bytes, without an option for a more human readable
format such as MiB or GiB.
The new `--human-readable` option will convert longer size values into more
human friendly values with an appropriate suffix depending on the output size.
For example, a size of `14680064` will be shown as `14.000 MiB`.

Bugfix: Improve lock refresh handling after standby
If the restic process was stopped or the host running restic entered standby
during a long running operation such as a backup, this previously resulted in
the operation failing with `Fatal: failed to refresh lock in time`.
This has now been fixed such that restic first checks whether it is safe to
continue the current operation and only throws an error if not.
