Enhancement: show deleted files for `restic forget`
The question had beeen raised in the past:
`restic forget SNAPSHOTID --dry-run --prune` calculates which blocks affected, and amount of space to be saved.
Is it possible to get a list of the particular files which will be deleted?
With the option `--show-removed-files` it it now possble to create a list of affected files,
together with the size and the last modification time of this file.
The oldest snapshot which is attached to this file is shown as well.
