When using the --seed foo.caibx option, Desync expects to find the data in foo, next to the provided .caibx file.
While this is a valid assumption for files, it requires additional steps when the data is a block device. For example a common suggestion in those cases is to create a symlink next to the seed index.
Instead, now --seed gains the ability to explicitly set a path for the data blob. The syntax becomes:
--seed /path/to/index.caibx:/path/to/data.
If the colon is missing, the old behavior of expecting the data next to the index file will still be used by default.
