What does this PR change? What problem does it solve?
The JSON output only included the shortened ID of the snapshot and not the full ID. The shortened ID could be ambiguous in rare cases and always has to be expanded first before restic can use it. As the JSON output is intended to be machine readable, there is no use in shortening the ID before printing it.
Strictly speaking, this change is not backwards compatible, but I don't expect much fall-out. In the worst case users have to explicitly truncate the ID down to 8 characters.
