Michael Eischer 8d0ba55ecd backup: Fix possible deadlock of scanner goroutine
When the backup is interrupted for some reason while the scanner is
still active this could lead to a deadlock. Interruptions are triggered
by canceling the context object used by both the backup progress UI and
the scanner. It is possible that a context is canceled between the
respective check in the scanner and it calling the `ReportTotal` method
of the UI. The latter method sends a message to the UI goroutine.
However, a canceled context will also stop that goroutine, which can
cause the channel send operation to block indefinitely.

This is resolved by adding a `closed` channel which is closed once the
UI goroutine is stopped and serves as an escape hatch for reported UI
updates.

This change covers not just the ReportTotal method but all potentially
affected methods of the progress UI implementation.
