Add a loader for Acronis CyberBackup/CyberProtect TIBX backup archives. Each backed-up partition is mapped as a volume, letting filesystem and OS detection take over. Supports split archives (auto-stitched), encrypted archives (password from the keychain via -K/-Kv), and recovery-point selection via the tibx:// scheme URI query parameter. Depends on dissect.archive with the tibx subpackage. Co-Authored-By: Matthias Niedermaier <matthias.niedermaier@hs-augsburg.de> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Depends on the TIBX parser in fox-it/dissect.archive (PR fox-it/dissect.archive#30)

6 tests: detection (positive + negative), volume mapping with filesystem verification (FAT12),
Target.openintegration, encrypted archive handling (missing password + keychain lookup), and error handling. Tests build synthetic archives inline — no binary fixtures.Note on exFAT
exFAT volumes in TIBX archives will produce correct file reads once fox-it/dissect.fat#37 and #1466 merge. Until then, directory listing works but file content reads are affected by the known block-size issue. NTFS and FAT32 volumes work fully.
