LP #1133010: new feature: --extra-file

Description

**Reported in Launchpad by Matthew Kent last update 14-11-2014 05:23:44

Hi guys!

As we continue to expand the number of mysql versions we are using I'm finding myself in a position where I want to include the exact package name and build that was running at the time of backup. This is easy to write out to a file but impossible to include with the backup right now. To keep this tightly coupled with the backup data I'd like to include it within the copy/tar as well so it's impossible to lose.

For consideration is a patch to do just that, it adds an option --extra-file=FILE that can be used to include an arbitrary file (or files if passed multiple times) within the backup.

Wrote this against 2.0.5. Passes testrun.sh and includes it's own tests.

Thanks for the patch! I'd like to look at us including this in the 2.1 branch of XtraBackp.
