Keep unreferenced blobs newer than prune_grace_period (closes #387)

check / check (push) Waiting to run
A backup uploads its blobs before the manifest that lists them, and the process lock covers one user on one machine, so a prune from another host or user sharing the destination deleted a running backup's blobs. Prune now deletes an unreferenced blob only once its listed time is older than the new config key prune_grace_period (default 24h; a negative value is refused). A newer blob, or one listed with no time, is kept and counted (blobs_too_new). The rclone backend takes each object's time from the listing (use_server_modtime). Decision: a blob a backup reuses from an earlier run that stopped before its manifest keeps its old time and is not protected; the docs and config comments say so. Model: opus-5-5
