b2 bucket names need to be unique 
Adds a small warning indicating that b2 bucket names need to be unique. It's an easy mistake to make, and it's surprising to get the following error if you're not accustomed to the way B2 works:

    Fatal: create repository at b2:postgres failed: NewBucket: b2_create_bucket: 400: Bucket name is already in use

Clarify live status display 
When I backup one of my filesystems which has a lot of Hard Links (Backup directory of burp) the live status shows me 4.5 TB but it only takes up 1.2 TB of space in the repository. This is confusing because my repo is on S3 and I feared a huge Bill. This change should clarify this.

5ab9e12b46 Clarify cache location documentation 
PR #1287 changed the default cache location on darwin and windows.
Update the changelog and manual to reflect the new behavior.

Since the cache hasn't been included in an official release yet, I've
just changed the main cache changelog entry.

Fixes #1309

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.

This commits adds rudimentary support for a cache directory, enabled by

is used if there's anything in it, newly created snapshot and index

dbda892542 Add option to exclude directories with a tagfile 
The option is named --exclude-if-present and accepts a parameter
filename[:content]. Directories are excluded and their contents is not
backed up if they contain a file with the specified name and,
optionally, that starts with the specified content. The tagfile itself
is never excluded.

There is also a shortcut --exclude-caches that works in the same way as
the likewise-named option of tar(1): Directories are recognized as cache
if they contain a file named "CACHEDIR.TAG.

Closes #317.
