Containers created by Freezer will have freezer_ as prefix

The containers used by freezer to executed backups needs to have
freezer_ prefix in the name. If the user provider container doesn't
have the prefix, it is automatically added also to the container
segments name. This is done to quickly identify the containers

Added --path-to-backup to the existing ones (-F, --file-to-backup)
as can be more intuitive for the user

Bumped version to: 1.1.0 as 1.0.9-2 is now tagged in upstream

Usage Example
=============
Freezer will automatically add the prefix "freezer_" to the container name,
where it is provided by the user and doesn't already start with this prefix.
If no container name is provided, the default is freezer_backups.
Backup
------
The most simple backup execution is a direct file system backup::
$ sudo freezerc --file-to-backup /data/dir/to/backup
--container new-data-backup --backup-name my-backup-name
--container freezer_new-data-backup --backup-name my-backup-name
By default --mode fs is set. The command would generate a compressed tar
gzip file of the directory /data/dir/to/backup. The generated file will
be segmented in stream and uploaded in the swift container called
new-data-backup, with backup name my-backup-name
freezer_new-data-backup, with backup name my-backup-name
Now check if your backup is executing correctly looking at
/var/log/freezer.log

This is achieved by generating a data stream from tar (for archiving)

128MB, so it can be safely stored in memory, encrypted if the key is
