Help the user to write back partial backup

    Description

      When the backup is only some tables from some databases, copying-back has the additional problem of merging the other tables / databases. In fact, I have no idea how to do that correctly. An empty data-dir is expected! Best would be including all the necessary steps into --copy-back, or next-best putting out the necessary steps for the user to follow.

            I see. It seemed I overlooked the documentation here.

            Easiest remedy, much less work than follows from MDEV-18762, would be to just create a warning output on encountering a partial backup without using --export:

            "This is a partial backup, you need to use the --export option. Both have entries in the documentation."

            And then allow to continue without export, if that is really wanted.
