in some configurations, samba stores NTFS-ACLs in this xattr[0], so
we should backup (if we can)
altough the 'security' namespace is special (e.g. in use by
selinux, etc.) this value is normally only used by samba and we
should be able to back it up.
to restore it, the user needs at least 'CAP_SYS_ADMIN' rights, otherwise
it cannot be set

Some changer seem to append more data than we expect, but correctly
annotates that size in the subheader.
For each descriptor entry, read as much as the size given in the
subheader (or until the end of the reader), else our position in
the reader is wrong for the next entry, and we will parse
incorrect data.

only check every 1024'th, which is cheaper to do than a modulo, as we
can just mask the 10 least-significant-bits and check if the result
is zero.

Fixes a non-negligible performance regression from commit
7f394c807b
While we skip known-verified chunks in the stat-and-inode-sort loop,
those are only the ones from previous indexes. If there's a repeated
chunk in one index they would get re-verified more often as required.
So, add the check again explicitly to the read+verify loop.

before reading the chunks from disk in the order of the index file,
stat them first and sort them by inode number.
this can have a very positive impact on read speed on spinning disks,
even with the additional stat'ing of the chunks.
memory footprint should be tolerable, for 1_000_000 chunks
we need about ~16MiB of memory (Vec of 64bit position + 64bit inode)
(assuming 4MiB Chunks, such an index would reference 4TiB of data)
two small benchmarks (single spinner, ext4) here showed an improvement from
~430 seconds to ~330 seconds for a 32GiB fixed index
and from
~160 seconds to ~120 seconds for a 10GiB dynamic index

The idea is that people first need to make actual backups before they
need to do maintenance tasks.
Network is already setup when installing with the ISO or on-top of
Debian, so that is not a priority either.

when we get an error from the tape, we possibly want to ignore it,
i.e. when the file was incomplete, but we still want to error
out if the error came from e.g, the datastore, so we have to move
the error checking code to the 'next_chunk' call

1. The exit was never called as `test ... || echo "foo" || exit 1`
can never come to the exit, as echo will not fail
2. The echo was meant to be redirected to stderr (FD #2) but it was
actually redirected to a file named '2'
