GitHub Enterprise Backup Utilities v2.6.4

Patch release fixing a regression, instrumenting backups and other minor changes.

Changes the cluster restore behaviour a bit since it doesn't restore the cluster configuration (cluster.conf) any more.
Backup restores to the same cluster are not affected.
Backup restores from a single VM to a cluster (i.e. migrating from a single
GitHub Enterprise VM to a cluster using backup-utils) are also unaffected.

• Cluster: remove restoring cluster.conf on restore #242
• Cluster: Prevent restoring to a standalone GHE appliance #244
