Adding "Dry Run Backup" mode to filetool.sh

[ixbrian]

I have made some modifications to filetool.sh that add an option for a "Dry Run Backup".  This displays on the screen what files would be included in your backup, each file's size, the total size of files uncompressed, and the size the compressed backup would be (without actually writing the backup anywhere).   I think this will be useful if you are changing .filetool.lst or .xfiletool.lst as you can see what files would be included in your backup without actually doing a backup.   It would also be useful to determine what the largest files in your backup would be so that you can reduce the backup size.  

This dry run backup doesn't actually write the backup anywhere so it doesn't require any free space on your hard drive.  

Here is the output produced:
