c1a3de4a6e Refactor max-unused calculation, add unlimited option 
Add a callback to the PruneOptions struct which calculates the number of
bytes allowed to be unused after prune is done. This way, the logic is
closer to the option parsing code.

Also, add an explicit option `unlimited` for the use case when storage
does not matter but bandwidth and time do. Internally, this sets the
maximum number of unused bytes to MaxUint64.

Rework the documentation slightly so that no more "packs" are
mentioned and it talks about "files" instead.

Make it clear in the documentation that the percentage given to
`--max-unused` is relative to the whole repository size after pruning is
done. If specified, it must be below 100%, otherwise the repository
would contain 100% of unused data, which is pointless.

I had a hard time coming up with the correct formula to calculate the
maximum number of unused bytes based on the number of used bytes. For a
fraction `p` (0 ≤ p < 1), a repo with `u` bytes used, and the number of
unused bytes `x` the following holds:

      x ≤ p * (u+x)
    ⇔ x ≤ p*u + p*x
    ⇔ x - p*x ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x * (1-p) ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x ≤ p/(1-p) * u

5695f9ebd2 vss: Implement VSS support for Windows 
The VSS support works for 32 and 64-bit windows, this includes a check that
the restic version matches the OS architecture as required by VSS. The backup
operation will fail the user has not sufficient permissions to use VSS.

Snapshotting volumes also covers mountpoints but skips UNC paths.

ae179ee63e Systematize documentation of environment variables 
Cache locations were documented inconsistently in three places.

The backup docs mentioned PATH being used to find fusermount, which is
never run by restic backup. It now mentions ssh and rclone, which are
used by backends.

The notion of a "system-wide" environment variable makes no sense.
TMPDIR is now mentioned because it allows for optimization and may
have security implications.

2447f3f110 Update usage strings to put flags before args 
The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.

Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).

758b44b9c0 gs: support authentication with access token 
In the Google Cloud Storage backend, support specifying access tokens
directly, as an alternative to a credentials file. This is useful when
restic is used non-interactively by some other program that is already
authenticated and eliminates the need to store long lived credentials.

The access token is specified in the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN environment
variable and takes precedence over GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.

5729d967f5 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)

f1b4d97945 doc: Warn about compatibility issues with CIFS and restic 
On Linux CIFS (SMB) seems to be incompatible with the async preemption
implementation of Go 1.14. CIFS seems not to restart syscalls (open,
read, chmod, readdir, ...) as expected by Go, which sets SA_RESTART for
its signal handler to have syscalls restarted automatically. This leads
to Go passing up lots of EINTR return codes to restic.

See https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2659 for a detailed explanation.

It not only has to have this particular name, but also a specific content
(described at http://bford.info/cachedir/spec.html), which is not immediately
obvious to the user.

This doesn't really matter for --exclude in most cases, but it avoids
spreading bad ideas.

f5b550191c 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.

fa0be82da8 gs: allow backend creation without storage.buckets.get 
If the service account used with restic does not have the
storage.buckets.get permission (in the "Storage Admin" role), Create
cannot use Get to determine if the bucket is accessible.

Rather than always trying to create the bucket on Get error, gracefully
fall back to assuming the bucket is accessible. If it is, restic init
will complete successfully. If it is not, it will fail on a later call.

Here is what init looks like now in different cases.

Service account without "Storage Admin":

Bucket exists and is accessible (this is the case that didn't work
before):

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend c02e2edb67 at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.

Bucket exists but is not accessible:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
create key in backend at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/ failed:
service.Objects.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:
my-service-account@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com does not have
storage.objects.create access to object this-bucket-exists/keys/0fa714e695c8ecd58cb467cdeb04d36f3b710f883496a90f23cae0315daf0b93., forbidden

Bucket does not exist:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
create backend at gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/ failed:
service.Buckets.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:
my-service-account@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com does not have storage.buckets.create access to bucket this-bucket-does-not-exist., forbidden

Service account with "Storage Admin":

Bucket exists and is accessible: Same

Bucket exists but is not accessible: Same. Previously this would fail
when Create tried to create the bucket. Now it fails when trying to
create the keys.

Bucket does not exist:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend c3c48b481d at gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.
