Empty folders in backup and restore, a full disk stops a restore, progress in the Bin

- Record folders without files in the meta record of a snapshot and restore them (#27)
- Errors writing to the restore directory stop the restore, also with --salvage
- Resume: check the folder before skipping, clean temporaries in folders that are complete
- Clean only read-ahead folders of our own; refresh the lease on skipped files
- Drop tables a failed database restore created; keep --salvage from calling a restored database fresh
- Retry a pack that fails to open on the storage (SMB)
- Without cron, running backups take turns from the open page
- Bin: read in parts with a counter and progress bar, show read errors, refresh when a run ends
