Migrate and refactor files and repo targets to unified backups

Aakriti Guptarequested to merge
ag-add-files-backup-target-to-cli-1 into master

What does this MR do and why?

This merge request adds a new backup target, files. This is a refactored migration from the old backup code. The MR removes the coupling with the following classes in the rails code:

  • Backups::Options
  • Backups::Strategy
  • Backups::Helper

I have added in tests for the Files target.

It would be easiest to review the code commit by commit. The task for backing up repos is disabled in this MR. This is done to accommodate multiple refactors. The next MR !163584 (merged) will be merged into this one and will enable repo task.
