Fixes #12154
The "-backup" flag before for "state *" CLI had some REALLY bizarre behavior:
it would change the destination state and actually not create any
additional backup at all (the original state was unchanged and the
normal timestamped backup still are written). Really weird.
This PR makes the -backup flag work as you'd expect with one caveat:
we'll still create the timestamped backup file. The timestamped backup
file helps make sure that you always get a backup history when using
these commands. We don't want to make it easy for you to overwrite a
state with the
-backup
flag.This can be backported.
