Reduce disk IO and space usage during backups

username-removed-5302 requested to merge backup-improvements into master

This is based on improvements made to the GitLab CI 8.0 backup script.

  • Avoid creating many small intermediate files while backing up builds and uploads by using tar and light gzip compression
  • Use same backup/restore code for uploads and builds
  • Only store a compressed intermediate DB dump
