adds a dry-run parameter for "proxmox-backup-client backup".
With this parameter on it simply prints out what would be uploaded,
instead of uploading it.

glibc's malloc has a misguided heuristic to detect transient allocations that
will just result in allocation sizes below 32 MiB never using mmap.
That it turn means that those relatively big allocations are on the heap where
cleanup and returning memory to the OS is harder to do and easier to be blocked
by long living, small allocations at the top (end) of the heap.
Observing the malloc size distribution in a file-level backup run:

We see that all allocations will be on the heap, and that while most
allocations are small, the relatively few big ones will still make up most of
the RSS and if blocked from being released back to the OS result in much higher
peak and average usage for the program than actually required.
Avoiding the "dynamic" mmap-threshold increasement algorithm and fixing it at
the original default of 128 KiB reduces RSS size by factor 10-20 when running
backups. As with memory mappings other mappings or the heap can never block
freeing the memory fully back to the OS.
But, the drawback of using mmap is more wasted space for unaligned or small
allocation sizes, and the fact that the kernel allegedly zeros out the data
before giving it to user space. The former doesn't really matter for us when
using it only for allocations bigger than 128 KiB, and the latter is a
trade-off, using 10 to 20 times less memory brings its own performance
improvement possibilities for the whole system after all ;-)

It is not necessary, so avoid it. The client can now be used
with multiple threads (without using a Mutex).

- imported pbs-api-types/src/common_regex.rs from old proxmox crate
- use hex crate to generate/parse hex digest
- remove all reference to proxmox crate (use proxmox-sys and
proxmox-serde instead)

Also moved pbs-datastore/src/crypt_config.rs to pbs-tools/src/crypt_config.rs.
We do not want to depend on pbs-api-types there, so I use [u8;32] instead of
Fingerprint.
