support "latest" wherever a snapshot id can be passed

Output of restic version

restic 0.9.5 compiled with go1.12.4 on linux/amd64

What should restic do differently? Which functionality do you think we should add?

restic diff, restic forget and maybe others only accepts real snapshot ids while restic ls translates "latest" into the latest snapshot. Should be consistent.

Did restic help you or made you happy in any way?

Being a long time user of duplicity/duply, I just discovered restic yesterday. Seems to solve quite some problems duplicity has.

I think snapshot resolving should be consolidated into a more general place, and once we have that we could potentially also start supporting things like latest-4 or @<date> and what not. But that's just a sidenote.
