Keep the progress line of a multi-path snapshot within 100% (closes #271)

One progress reporter spans every path of a snapshot. Its counts of
files and bytes processed run across all the paths, while the totals
they were divided by were reset to each path's own, so a second path
smaller than the first showed more than 100% and an ETA of `unknown`.
The totals now add up over the paths scanned so far. The rate behind
the ETA is measured from the bytes processed since the current path's
scan phase ended, so a later path's scan phase does not lower it.
SetTotalSize is renamed AddTotalSize because it now adds.

The issue says the ETA went negative; it was computed negative and
printed as `unknown`.

 # Completed Steps
 
-- 2026-10-08: Made a backup cancelled under `--skip-errors` stop at once
-  ([issue #286](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/286)). After
-  Ctrl-C or SIGTERM, phase 2 treated the cancellation error from each
-  remaining file like an unreadable file: it opened the file, printed an
-  error line for it, counted it as failed and went on to the next one.
-  The run now stops at the first file after the cancellation, and no
-  file is counted as failed because of it.
-
-- 2026-10-08: Made `remote nuke` delete the `.partial` files that
-  uploads cut off part-way leave on the destination store
-  ([issue #281](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/281)). The
-  file and rclone listings skip such a file, so the command left it in
-  place and still reported the store empty. It now removes them under
-  `metadata/` and `blobs/` as its last step.
-
-- 2026-10-08: Made a local index error while recording a directory or
-  symlink stop a backup under `--skip-errors`
-  ([issue #284](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/284)). Phase 2
-  only records such an entry in the local index, since it has no data
-  to open or read, but an error doing so was skipped like an unreadable
-  file. The snapshot then completed without the entry, and a restore
-  did not recreate it. The error now stops the backup, as it does
-  without the flag.
-
-- 2026-10-08: Counted a file that a backup could not store as failed
-  ([issue #280](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/280)). A file
-  that phase 1 counted and phase 2 could not open, because it was
-  unreadable under `--skip-errors` or removed in between, was reported
-  in the summary as unchanged with its bytes as backed up, and the
-  `snapshots` row's `file_count` and `total_size` included it. The
-  summary now counts it as failed, and its data total and the row leave
-  it out.
-
-- 2026-10-08: Made `remote info` report a snapshot's blob count and
-  blob size as unknown when its manifest cannot be read
-  ([issue #272](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/272)). The
-  orphan figures were already unknown in that case, but the snapshot's
-  row still gave 0 blobs and 0 B, in the table and in `--json`. The row
-  now reads `unknown` and `--json` gives `null`. A directory with no
-  manifest still shows 0, since the orphan figures count its blobs as
-  orphaned.
-
 - 2026-10-08: Kept the progress line of a snapshot with more than one
   path within 100%
   ([issue #271](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/271)). The
   bytes and files processed counted every path, but the totals they
   were divided by held only the current path's, so a second path
   smaller than the first showed more than 100% and an ETA of `unknown`.
