Enhancement: Add --keep-within-hourly switch to restic forget
restic forget allowed users to specify keeping a given number of
hourly backups, or to keep all backups within a given interval,
but not both, that is to specify keeping hourly backups within
a given interval.
The --keep-within-hourly switch offers this functionality, and
parallell switches for daily/weekly/monthly/yearly are also
implemneted. The new switches are:
--keep-within-hourly <1y2m3d4h>
--keep-within-daily <1y2m3d4h>
--keep-within-weekly <1y2m3d4h>
--keep-within-monthly <1y2m3d4h>
--keep-within-yearly <1y2m3d4h>
