[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] fix #2996: client: allow optional match pattens for restore

[Christian Ebner]

When the user is only interested in a subset of the entries stored in
a file-level backup, it is convenient to be able to provide a list of
match patterns for the entries intended to be restored.

The required restore logic is already in place. Therefore, expose it
for the `proxmox-backup-client restore` command by adding the optional
array of patterns as command line argument and parse these before
passing them via the pxar restore options to the archive extractor.
