Choose source path when adding a backup #2227

Description

@anisse

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to import historical backups, and I wonder if it's possible to specify a different name for the source path?
When importing, I'd like multiple backups of the same source path are currently stored in different paths, to be referencing the same path inside plakar.

Describe the solution you'd like
A cli flag to specify the source path, just like -force-timestamp ; maybe -force-path-name

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered using symbolic links, but I'm not even sure if it works. And it requires creating one link per path at import time.

Additional context
This is an import from a very manual rsync+hard links backup.
