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.
