Enhancement: Stricter repository lock handling
Previously, restic commands kept running even if they failed to refresh their
locks in time. This could be a problem e.g. in case the client system running
a backup entered the standby power mode while the backup was still in progress
(which would prevent the client from refreshing its lock), and after a short
delay another host successfully runs `unlock` and `prune` on the repository,
which would remove all data added by the in-progress backup. If the backup
client later continues its backup, even though its lock had expired in the
meantime, this would lead to an incomplete snapshot.
To address this, lock handling is now much stricter. Commands requiring a lock
are canceled if the lock is not refreshed successfully in time. In addition,
if a lock file is not readable restic will not allow starting a command. It may
be necessary to remove invalid lock files manually or use `unlock --remove-all`.
Please make sure that no other restic processes are running concurrently before
doing this, however.
