Other commands like key list and key remove show the key's ID.
Showing the ID here lets users easily reuse the ID as a key hint for subsequent
commands.
In particular, a key hint is needed when the repository has many keys - otherwise
opening the repository may fail with "Fatal: maximum number of keys reached" even
when a proper password is provided.
Fixes#4656
It was only used in two places:
- stats: apparently as a minor performance optimization, which is
unlikely to be important
- find: filtered directories would be ignored. However, this
optimization missed that it is possible that two directories have the
exact same content. Such directories would be incorrectly ignored too.
Example:
```
mkdir test test/a test/b
restic backup test
restic find latest test/b
-> incorrectly does not return anything
```
Thus, remove the functionality as it's apparently too complex to use
correctly.
rclone returns a "not found" error if an internal error occurs while
listing a folder. Ignoring this error lets restic erroneously think that
there are no files, which can cause `prune` to wipe the whole
repository.

This introduces a new modifier to the output of the diff command. It
appears whenever two files being compared only differ in their content
but not in their metadata. As far as we know, under normal
circumstances, this should only ever happen if some kind of bitrot has
happened in the source file. The prerequisite for this detection to work
is that the right-side snapshot of the comparison has been created with
"backup --force".
Bug #1681 suggests that restic should not be nice to user and should
refrain from creating a mountpoint if it does not exist. Nevertheless,
it currently opens the repository before checking for the mountpoint's
existence. In the case of large or remote repositories, this process
can be time-consuming, delaying the inevitable outcome.
/restic mount --repo=REMOTE --verbose /tmp/backup
repository 33f14e42 opened (version 2, compression level max)
[0:38] 100.00% 162 / 162 index files loaded
Mountpoint /tmp/backup doesn't exist
stat /tmp/backup: no such file or directory
real 0m39.534s
user 1m53.961s
sys 0m3.044s
In this scenario, 40 seconds could have been saved if the nonexistence
of the path had been verified beforehand.
This patch relocates the mountpoint check to the beginning of the
runMount function, preceding the opening of the repository.
