[pbs-devel] [PATCH v4 proxmox-backup 57/58] datastore: chunker: implement chunker for payload stream

[Christian Ebner]

Implement the Chunker trait for a dedicated payload stream chunker,
which extends the regular chunker by the option to suggest boundaries
to be used over the hast based boundaries whenever possible.
