Follow-up to #26. Backups can be made, browsed and single items downloaded as .rmdoc, but there's no way to restore a whole snapshot yet.

Options to decide between:

Into the library, as imported items (like importing .rmdocs), so nothing touches the cloud.
To the reMarkable cloud, re-uploading the snapshot's items (and folders) through the same write path sorting and tagging use, for when the cloud account itself was lost or emptied. Needs care around items that still exist, and a cloud snapshot first (see Remarkable.Snapshot).

Also maybe: restoring just a folder, and deleting snapshots (or an old destination's backups) by hand. See docs/backups.md, "Not done".

Also should consider a viewer within the backup area to see what the backups
Also possibly a per page/notebook restore where you ca side-by-side compare before restoring.
