Output redirection & status monitor

[jkellerer]

Work in progress:

• [ ] Implement #153 for all commands (provide clean stdout redirection)
• [ ] Auto enable "extended-status" if required or warn if status/prom feature is non-functional
• [ ] Provide a console monitor (when "extended-status" output is enabled)
• [ ] Update restic output parsers to cover current versions
• [ ] Eval if prune, check, forget can be covered in output parsing

Provide a console monitor (when "extended-status" output is enabled)

I've been thinking about doing that for quite some time as well 😉

[jkellerer]

Sorry didn't wan't to take it away, but it just fit too well into rethinking output handling. While the status monitor already works quite well, the output needs to be improved.

No problem 👍🏻 FYI I was thinking either copying the restic code used to display the progress, or go wild with a library like https://github.com/pterm/pterm

... I was thinking I'd like to learn how it can be achieved, so I created it mostly from scratch. No external deps but maybe less smart.

256 colors could be supported and there's also an option to read the background on xterm to decide on the theme. Eventually this can be useful but for the moment I try to limit the amount of colors that are used. In the end it shouldn't be annoying.

I agree. Too many colours is complicated to get right on both a light and dark background anyway.
