greatroar 63f6a9b085 Don't set a parent for --stdin backups
Loading any parent tree for these only wastes time and memory.
Fixes #3641, where it was shown that the most recent tree will get
picked.

--parent is now implicitly ignored when --stdin is given.

Change: Backups from stdin no longer have a parent
Snapshots made with `restic backup --stdin` no longer have a parent snapshot.
Since parent snapshots are only used to skip files in the scanning phase
based on filename and timestamps, the parent snapshot of a `--stdin` snapshot
was meaningless to begin with. Not setting a parent allows `restic backup`
to skip some startup operations.
The `--parent` option is still available for `restic backup --stdin`,
but is now ignored.
