This isn't ready to merge yet:

• missing support for nice and ionice
• missing testconnect getconf
• sftp connection test not working
• assumes curl exists on system
• unsure about retry_run mechanism, when is that necessary? does restic fail that often?

I'm interested to hear from @nka

@nka Another thing, from what I understand in the restic docs, rebuild-index seems to me akin to a repair operation that one would probably want to run manually instead of unattended using backupninja. In your experience with restic is that a command that you really want to run using backupninja?

Alright, we don't have 100% test coverage but I'm comfortable enough with it to ship along the next RC!
