[Feature Request] Avoid trying to backup xattrs #1599

@DianaNites

Description

@DianaNites

I am attempting to backup a filesystem that does not support xattrs. This results in a WARN log line for seemingly every file about xattrs being unsupported.

[WARN] ignoring error: Error getting xattrs for "<path>": Os { code: 95, kind: Unsupported, message: "Operation not supported" }

A command-line and/or configuration option to disable attempting to read extended attributes would be very useful.

An additional option could be attempting detection of this and handling it automatically, but I suspect its possible that would mask legitimate errors from the user(maybe they misconfigured something?)

Using rustic version v0.10.0.
