rustic 0.5.2

[aawsome]

I'm happy to announce rustic 0.5.2. This release mainly features performance improvements in the backup command, especially when backing up many new (small) files. Also the config file treatment has been overworked featuring the new use-profile option which allows to (recursively) inherit options from other config files.
Also some smaller bugs and additional features were added.

Changes in version 0.5.2:

Breaking changes:

• The CLI option --config-profile was renamed into --use-profile (same shortcut -P).

Bugs fixed:

• restore: Warm-up options given by the command line didn't work. This has been fixed.
• backup: showed 1 dir as changed when backing up without parent. This has been fixed.
• diff: The options --no-atime and --ignore-devid had no effect and are now removed.
• Rustic's check of additional fields in the config file didn't work in edge cases. This has been fixed.

New features:

• backup: Backing up (small) files has been speed-optimized and is now much more parallelized.
• Config file: New field use-profile under [global] allows to merge options from other config profiles
• Option --dry-run is now a global option and can also be defined in the config file or via env variable
• forget: Using "-1" as value for --keep-* options will keep all snapshots of that interval
• prune: Added option --repack-all
• Updated to clap v4
