Re: [NEW] net/b2

Underscore's not so good. Make it easy to type and maybe tab-completable from the original name. People can always alias or symlink into ~/bin or something if they want the original name.

Backblaze suggest to use b2v3 or b2v4 inside scripts [1]. I think that
rename file and add Readme where explain why it has been renamed should be ok.

Footnotes:
[1]  https://github.com/Backblaze/B2_Command_Line_Tool?tab=readme-ov-file#apiver-cli-versions-b2-vs-b2v3-b2v4-etc

Then maybe we need the following?:

b2 -> backblaze-b2

b2v3 -> backblaze-b2v3

b2v4 -> backblaze-b2v4 

Referred docs still tell you to use `b2` straight: "if you want the latest bells and whistles..."

I wonder why debian isn't providing the *v3, and *v4 binaries, maybe they provide an older backblaze-b2 before that naming...

This is what I'm planning to do.  Debian's port is old (1.3.8 for bookworm, 3.1.x for unstable) and I think pre-dates the v3/v4 distinction.

Yes, debian sid (unstable) provides:

/usr/bin/_b2v4
/usr/bin/b2v3

/usr/bin/backblaze-b2

https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/backblaze-b2/filelist

Don't know what I feel about the underscore one, though...
