Michael Eischer 73c9780321 backup: store but warn if extended metadata for item is incomplete
Files were not included in the backup if the extended metadata for the
file could not be read. This is rather drastic. Instead settle on
returning a warning but still including the file in the backup.

Change: let `backup` store files with incomplete metadata
If restic failed to read the extended metadata for a file or folder while
creating a backup, then the file or folder was not included in the resulting
snapshot. Instead, only a warning message was printed along with exiting
with exit code 3.
Now, restic also includes items for which the extended metadata could not
be read in a snapshot. The warning message has been changed to read
```
incomplete metadata for /path/to/file: details on error
```
