- Update to version 0.16.5
- Enh #4799: Add option to force use of Azure CLI credential

- Update to version 0.16.4 This release works around and improves
detection of a bug in the compression library used by restic. The
resulting issue only happens when using restic 0.16.3 and the max
compression level (the default auto and off compression levels are not
affected), and when the source files being backed up have specific data
in them to trigger the bug. If you use max compression, you can use
restic check --read-data to make sure you're not affected.

A very long list of improvements for all the details see
https://github.com/restic/restic/releases/tag/v0.16.1 It contains an
important bug fix which prevents data corruption when compression is set
