 ### Changes

-- transfer backup: Connect to mutliple provider addresses concurrently.  This should speed up connection time significantly on the getter side.  #4240
-- Make sure BackupProvider is cancelled on drop (or dc_backup_provider_unref).  The BackupProvider will now alaway finish with an IMEX event of 1000 or 0, previoulsy it would sometimes finishe with 1000 (success) when it really was 0 (failure). #4242
