What does this PR change? What problem does it solve?

It adds a --copy-chunker-parameters option to the init command to support copying the chunker parameters to a new repository.

This allows creating multiple repositories with identical chunker parameters which is required for working deduplication when copying snapshots between different repositories. See the documentation change for more details.

Was the change discussed in an issue or in the forum before?

The problem was discussed in #2606 but not this solution.
