Feature request: Continue killed redis-copy on scan provider via a cursor parameter #4

When using the scan key emitter, if redis-copy got disconnected or is killed abrubtply, it would be useful if it will return the cursor returned by the last SCAN operation and can be passed later as a parameter. This will be useful on subsequent attempts to avoid redoing DUMPs and RESTOREs from scratch (and displaying lots of FAIL messages).

Pull-request welcome. The REDIS_COPY_SCAN_CURSOR Environment variable would be a good fit (as would logging the cursor somewhere, or putting the last-started one in a temporary file somewhere)
