[FR] ability to run forget #13

Description

Hey this tool is great! Thanks for writing it.

A feature request: with prolonged use of restic it's fairly important to run restic forget ... periodically (with various --keep and --prune options). Would it be difficult to add this to the scheduler? I can of course run it manually (or even add it to a post-run script) but one of the nice things about your tool is the integration with keychain, so I don't need to store secrets on disk in scripts.

(I guess a simple/minimal option would be to allow propagating the configuration state as environment variables passed to post-run scripts, including the repository, restic path and the secrets extracted from keychain. But first-class support for forget would also be nice!)

Anyway, thanks again.
