[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v3 3/4] pxar: add UniqueContext helper

[Gabriel Goller]

To create a pxar archive, we recursively traverse the target folder.
If there is an error further down and we add a context using anyhow,
the context will be duplicated and we get an output like:

> Error: error at "xattr/xattr.txt": error at "xattr/xattr.txt": E2BIG [skip]

This is obviously not optimal, so in recursive contexts we can use the
UniqueContext, which quickly checks the context from the last item in
the error chain and only adds it if it is unique.
