Enhancement: Allow `backup` file tree scanner to be disabled
add --disable-scanner to backup command The scanner process has only cosmetic effect for the progress printer, and can be disabled without impacting functionality when the user does not need an estimate of completion. In many cases the scanner process can provide beneficial priming of the file system cache, so as general advice it should not be disabled. However, tests have shown that backup of NFS and fuse based filesystems, where stat(2) is relatively expensive, can be significantly faster without the scanner.

The `backup` command walks the file tree in a separate scanner process to find
the total size and file/directory count, and uses this to provide an ETA. This
can slow down backups, especially of network filesystems.
The command now has a new option `--no-scan` which can be used to disable this
scanning in order to speed up backups when needed.
