[pbs-devel] [PATCH v4 proxmox-backup 44/58] client: pxar: add method for metadata comparison

[Christian Ebner]

Add method to compare metadata of current file entry against metadata
of the entry looked up in the previous backup snapshot. If the
metadata matched, the start offset pointing to the files payload
header in the payload steam is returned.

This is in preparation for reusing payload chunks for unchanged files.
