Bugfix release: faster restores.

Fixed

  • Restores and occ backup:verify --deep fetched every blob with its own request, so on a
    remote location they ran far below the speed of the connection. The blobs of a pack are now
    read from one open stream, in the order they were written. Restoring 86 MB in 202 files from a
    Hetzner Storage Box over SMB went from 0.78 MB/s to 4.2 MB/s, the speed of reading the packs
    as plain files over that connection.
  • Reading from an SFTP location waited a full round trip for every 256 KiB, whatever the line
    speed. Reads now keep up to 8 requests in flight. Restoring 1.97 GB in 500 files from a Hetzner
    Storage Box (47 ms away) took 694 s before the fix above, 499 s with it and 142 s with both
    (2.8 → 3.9 → 13.9 MB/s); a full 51 GB restore ran at 13.0 MB/s. When a server error
    interrupts such a read, it goes on from the same position with Nextcloud's own SFTP stream;
    after three failing files in a row, or on a Nextcloud whose SFTP library lacks what this needs,
    only Nextcloud's own stream is used.
  • README: a WebDAV location on a slow upload needs a higher davstorage.request_timeout.
