--time not usable for backups from stdin

Output of restic version

restic 0.8.1 (57dc605)
compiled with go1.9.2 on linux/amd64

How did you run restic exactly?

cat backupfile | restic -r rest:http://backuphost/ backup --time "2011-10-15 17:45:37" --hostname "myhost" --stdin --stdin-filename backupfile

What backend/server/service did you use to store the repository?

Expected behavior

Restic creates a new snapshot with the given time, hostname and filename.

Actual behavior

Restic creates a new snapshot with the given hostname and filename but timestamp of the execution of restic instead of the time given with --time

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create repository
2. create new backup, use --stdin and --time
3. list created snapshots
4. snapshot time is set to time of backup, not the time given by --time

Do you have any idea what may have caused this?

time.Now() is used in

restic/internal/archiver/archive_reader.go

Line 31 in e17f65b

sn, err := restic.NewSnapshot([]string{name}, r.Tags, r.Hostname, time.Now())

which is called by readBackupFromStdin

Do you have an idea how to solve the issue?

nope

Did restic help you or made you happy in any way?

What? Are you kidding? Of course it did! Finally a nice and easy way to do backups. You're doing great work! Thank You!
