Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a user tries to restore a backup, it will be helpful for them to know if that backup was a multi-region backup and what the locality of the backup is, so that they can configure the destination cluster, db, table with the right locality, if needed. This is also required for implementing a more intuitive flow for self-service restores in CockroachDB Cloud.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a "locality type" column to the SHOW BACKUP output - that will indicate:
For clusters / DB backups
For table backups
Add a 'supported regions' column to SHOW BACKUP output - that will indicate the list of supported regions for that object type.
Describe alternatives you've considered
