Dump DB to zip from admin panel

[ermouth <er...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Just released a new version of Photon admin panel with Dump to zip feature (
https://github.com/ermouth/couch-photon#dump-to-zip-and-restore). Photon
can now stream several DBs into a single zip, with _security descriptors,
right from the browser; also it can restore DBs from zip.

Performance is ok for large docs, however there’s a field for improvements
for DBs with zillions of docs smaller than several kb. Also storing
conflicts and _deleted docs is not yet implemented.

The tool was created mostly for deployment tasks, however it’s ok for
non-critical backup of not very large (up to Gb is tested, and ok) DBs I
suppose.
