I noticed two points that I propose to change in some BackupRepository
implementations and in BackupRepositoryFactory:

1- Two implementations (S3BackupRepository, GCSBackupRepository) compute
and verify the checksum of index files being copied. Other implementations
do not.
=> I propose to remove this checksum verification, to simply copy the bytes.
First, because it seems to me it is useless to verify the checksum before
backup (checking it after restoring seems more useful).
Second, because for the encryption module in dev in solr-sandbox, I need to
ensure the bytes copied stay encrypted, and the checksum is not verifiable
in this case.

2- There is a special logic in BackupRepositoryFactory when creating the
TrackingBackupRepository. TrackingBackupRepository delegates to another
BackupDirectory, and it is only used for tests.
=> I propose to introduce FilterBackupRepository to delegate to a
BackupDirectory in a more generic way. TrackingBackupRepository would
become a FilterBackupRepository.
Again, I would use an EncryptionBackupRepository in solr-sandbox to
delegate to any BackupRepository, while ensuring copied bytes stay
encrypted.

I would appreciate any feedback :)
