-Enhancement: Support reading backup from a commands's standard output

-The `backup` command now supports the `--stdin-from-command` option. When using
-this option, the arguments to `backup` are interpreted as a command instead of
-paths to back up. `backup` then executes the given command and stores the

-does. This also enables restic to verify that the command completes with exit
-code zero. A non-zero exit code causes the backup to fail.

 Reading data from stdin
 ***********************

-.. warning::
-
-    Restic cannot detect if data read from stdin is complete or not. As explained
-    below, this can cause incomplete backup unless additional checks (outside of
-    restic) are configured. If possible, use ``--stdin-from-command`` instead.
-
-Alternatively, restic supports reading arbitrary data directly from the standard
-input. Use the option ``--stdin`` of the ``backup`` command as  follows:
+Sometimes it can be nice to directly save the output of a program, e.g.
+``mysqldump`` so that the SQL can later be restored. Restic supports
+this mode of operation, just supply the option ``--stdin`` to the
+``backup`` command like this:

 .. code-block:: console

-    # Will not notice failures, see the warning below
-    $ gzip bigfile.dat | restic -r /srv/restic-repo backup --stdin
-
-This creates a new snapshot of the content of ``bigfile.dat``.
-As for ``--stdin-from-command``, the default file name is ``stdin``; a
-different name can be specified with ``--stdin-filename``.
-
-**Important**: while it is possible to pipe a command output to restic using
-``--stdin``, doing so is discouraged as it will mask errors from the
-command, leading to corrupted backups. For example, in the following code
-block, if ``mysqldump`` fails to connect to the MySQL database, the restic
-backup will nevertheless succeed in creating an _empty_ backup:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
-    # Will not notice failures, read the warning above
+    $ set -o pipefail
    $ mysqldump [...] | restic -r /srv/restic-repo backup --stdin

-A simple solution is to use ``--stdin-from-command`` (see above). If you
-still need to use the ``--stdin`` flag, you must use the shell option ``set -o pipefail``
-(so that a non-zero exit code from one of the programs in the pipe makes the
-whole chain return a non-zero exit code) and you must check the exit code of
-the pipe and act accordingly (e.g., remove the last backup). Refer to the
-`Use the Unofficial Bash Strict Mode <http://redsymbol.net/articles/unofficial-bash-strict-mode/>`__
-for more details on this.
+This creates a new snapshot of the output of ``mysqldump``. You can then
+use e.g. the fuse mounting option (see below) to mount the repository
+and read the file.
+
+By default, the file name ``stdin`` is used, a different name can be
+specified with ``--stdin-filename``, e.g. like this:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ mysqldump [...] | restic -r /srv/restic-repo backup --stdin --stdin-filename production.sql

-Sometimes it may be desirable to change the metadata of an existing snapshot.
-Currently, rewriting the hostname and the time of the backup is supported.

-Verifying the Official Binaries
-*******************************
-
-To verify the official binaries, you can either build them yourself using the above
-instructions or use the ``helpers/verify-release-binaries.sh`` script from the restic
-repository. Run it as ``helpers/verify-release-binaries.sh restic_version go_version``.
-The specified go compiler version must match the one used to build the official
-binaries. For example, for restic 0.16.2 the command would be
-``helpers/verify-release-binaries.sh 0.16.2 1.21.3``.
-
-The script requires bash, curl, docker, git, gpg, shasum and tar.
-
-The script first downloads all release binaries, checks the SHASUM256 file and its
-signature. Afterwards it checks that the tarball matches the restic git repository
-contents, before first reproducing the builder docker container and finally the
-restic binaries. As final step, the restic binary in both the docker hub images
-and the GitHub container registry is verified. If any step fails, then the script
-will issue a warning.
