allow passing in `--backup-strategy` as a list of strings. these strings are of the format "<name>:<endpoint>:<timestamp>". the only name that is valid is "ethsethead". upon receiving this list of backup strategies, sort by timestamp descending. for each: * find the closest block that is greater than the timestamp given * call admin_stopWS to stop the WS server so that op-node cannot manipulate the chain while we're working with the data * use debug_setHead to set the latest block to that timestamp * stop the container * take the backup * repeat until all backups are taken * run tests 10 times in parallel to look for fragile tests add tests that test not only this process, but that the restores of the backups contain the correct blocks and a geth container can start back up with those in its blockchain. fixes #46
