backup API in 1.20

[John Meinel]

So as discussed, I think we still want to support a HTTP GET based API for
actually downloading the content to the client. And the CLI can do steps
like:
 RPC to a request to create a backup (either this is synchronous and
returns a URL, or the next step is to wait on the next request for when it
is done to get the URL)
 HTTP GET to download the backup .tar (.xz,,bz2,gz whatever)
put those bytes somewhere locally and then exit.
