doc: specify AWS Region via AWS_DEFAULT_REGION 

If no specific Region is mentioned in RESTIC_REPOSITORY, AWS defaults to
us-east-1. For this reason, users that follow the tutorial and create
their S3 bucket in any other region get the following error:

"Fatal: create repository at [...] client.BucketExists"

Explicitly specifying the AWS region name fixes the issue.
