Add new option --repository-file (default: $RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE)
...
As an alternative to -r, this allows to read the repository URL
from a file in order to prevent certain types of information leaks,
especially for URLs containing credentials.
Fixes #1458 , fixes #2900 .

--verbose 2
to --verbose=2

`--verbose 2` seems to be incorrect here (gives an error/warning that "the `2` directory does not exist, skipping")

backup: Return exit status code 3 when failing to read source data
...
The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot
could be created successfully, even if some of the source files could not
be read (in which case the snapshot would contain the rest of the files).
This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete
backups by looking at the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit
codes for the backup command:
- 0 when the command was successful
- 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created)
- 3 when some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)

doc: Refactors the documentation
...
This commit refactors the documentation according to my proposal in #1273
and the discussion I had with fd0 on IRC.
The bits from the manual that I could not immediately put into the new
structure are contained in manual_rest.rst Anything else is still there,
nothing has been deleted.
I changed the heading markup to follow the convention used in Python’s
Style Guide for documentation, this convention is explained in a comment
at the top of every file.
I also added a paragraph on installing restic on Debian.
