Gerard Bosch 3852e305b6 Add resticw (restic wrapper) utility (#60) ...

The script provides a convenient way to load environment config, deal
with profiles and act as a pass-through to restic. The overall thing is
to improve the UX when running restic, integrating the features this
project provides.

## Note

The script itself is a very simple thing.
The command line parser is auto-generated using docopt.sh driven from
the script's DOC. It can be refreshed upon DOC changes with:
`docopt.sh path/to/resticw`.

## How to use it

### Examples

```console
sudo resticw stats latest

sudo resticw -p profileA snapshots
```

### Help

```console
❯ resticw --help
A little wrapper over restic just to handle profiles and environment loading.

  It loads the backup profile/environment in a subshell to avoid any credential leak (Note: Run it with sudo so it can load the environment).

  Usage:
    resticw [options] <restic_arguments>

    The restic_arguments is just the regular unwrapped restic arguments, e.g. stats latest

  Options:
    -p --profile=<name>        Specify the profile to load or use default [default: default].

  Examples:
    sudo resticw --profile profileA snapshots
    sudo resticw stats latest  # this will use the profile: default
```
