Bugfix: Repair `self-update --output new-file.exe` on Windows
Since restic 0.14.0 `self-update` did not work when a custom output filename
was specified via the `--output` option. This has been fixed.
As a workaround either use an older restic version to run the self-update or
create an empty file with the output filename before updating e.g. using CMD:
`type nul > new-file.exe`
`restic self-update --output new-file.exe`
