Enhancement: Validate exclude patterns before backing up
Exclude patterns provided via `--exclude`, `--iexclude`, `--exclude-file` or `--iexclude-file`
previously weren't validated. As a consequence, invalid patterns resulted in all files being backed up.
restic now validates all patterns before running the backup and aborts with a fatal error
if an invalid pattern is detected.
