Syncing contents from/to a remote source via a sync job suffers from
low throughput on high latency networks because of limitations by the
HTTP/2 connection, as described in [0]. To improve, syncing multiple
groups in parallel by establishing multiple reader instances has been
suggested.

This patch series implements the functionality by adding the sync job
configuration property `worker-threads`, allowing to define the
number of groups pull/push tokio tasks to be executed in parallel on
the runtime during each job.

Examplary configuration:
```
sync: s-8764c440-3a6c
	ns
	owner root@pam
	remote local
	remote-ns
	remote-store push-target-store
	remove-vanished false
	store datastore
	sync-direction push
	worker-threads 4
```

Since log messages are now also written concurrently, prefix logs
related to groups, snapshots and archives with their respective
context prefix and add context to error messages.

To reduce interwoven log messages from log lines arriving in fast
succession from different group workers, implement a buffer logic to
keep up to 5 lines buffered with a timeout of 1 second. This helps to
follow log lines.

Further, improve logging especially for sync jobs in push direction,
which only displayed limited information so far.

Change since version 5 (thanks @Fabian):
- Implement buffered logger for better grouping of fast succession log lines
- Refactor group worker into standalone BoundedJoinSet implementation.
- Improve log output by using better prefixes
- Add missing error contexts

Change since version 4:
- Use dedicated tokio tasks to run in parallel on different runtime threads,
  not just multiple concurrent futures on the same thread.
- Rework store progress accounting logic to avoid mutex locks when possible,
  use atomic counters instead.
- Expose setting also in the sync job edit window, not just the config.
