[Bug 8682] Skip current transfer keyboard function

--- Comment #6 from Joachim Wagner  ---
The "echo > sourcefile" workaround seems to not trigger an error, at least not
straight away and at least on XFS, but instead speeds up the operation and
stops writing more data to the target file. Observation (both source and target
filesystems are local, 5.7 TB file at 68% at time of intervention):

* Before "echo > sourcefile", rsync -P reported about 200MB/s
* After "echo > sourcefile", rsync -P reports about 650MB/s and the target
file's mtime and size no longer change
* At 100%, rsync says "read errors mapping "redacted": No data available (61)
WARNING: redacted failed verification -- update discarded (will try again)."
and then syncs the 1-byte file created with `echo`.

Still grateful @martin for sharing the idea. I found this searching for a way
to inject an I/O error.

For the source file backup, `cp --reflink=always` is your friend.

There's no good way to implement something like that in the current rsync.

If this ever gets implemented: instead of (interactively) pressing a key to
interrupt the current transfer of a particular object, I'd like it to also
react to a signal (e.g. SIGUSR1) that can be sent to rsync, even when it's not
started interactively.

that would be a quite useful feature.

i`d recommend that this feature should be activated with a commandline option
for safety purpose. and skipping should then be repeated while the key is
pressed down, so one could skip multiple files at once or an entire directory
structure (e.g. when accidentally syncing /proc etc)
