Show list of deduplicated files #84

Maybe I'm missing this but I think it would be nice if there was a subcommand that lists the dedup'ed files by bedup.

I just finished a fresh run, and bedup's output overflowed the terminal history (I know, I shouldn't have forgot to set to infinity, or write a copy of the stdout to a file, but it's done now), and I really need such a feature to handle these duplicates.

Just a naive question: Deduplication (unlike hardlinks) is supposed to be invisible for the user. What is your use case for knowing which files share blocks? (This happens with snapshots as well)
