Thomas Waldmann a7fca52f07 create part items rather than checkpoint items
checkpoint items: chunks abc, abcdef, abcdefghi, ....
part items: chunks abc, def, ghi

solves the "restore a big file over unstable connection issue" (not very comfortably, but
one can just extract one part after the other and concatenate them to get the full file)

if the filesystem issue can't be reproduced with a known-good,

(which shows that stuff was compressed).

Also: add FAQ item about compression.
