rustic v0.8.0

[aawsome]

We are happy to release rustic 0.8.0.

In release 0.8.0 lots of smaller bugs have been fixed. Also many new features have been added:

• an interactive mode for viewing and restoring, run rustic snapshots -i to test it
• the find command has been implemented
• options for extra checks before saving pack files, for checking the index before each command and for setting repositories in append-only mode have been added
• see more in the detailed changelog below!

We are also proud that test coverage has been increased a lot with this release with focus on rustic_core.

Note: There are a few breaking changes which might need changes in the configuration profile!
