Bugfix: Prevent `forget --keep-tags <invalid>` from deleting all snapshots
Running `forget --keep-tags <invalid>`, where `<invalid>` is a tag that does
not exist in the repository, would remove all snapshots. This is especially
problematic if the tag name contains a typo.
The `forget` command now fails with an error if all snapshots in a snapshot
group would be deleted. This prevents the above example from deleting all
snapshots.
It is possible to temporarily disable the new check by setting the environment
variable `RESTIC_FEATURES=safe-forget-keep-tags=false`. Note that this feature
flag will be removed in the next minor restic version.
