Jan Niggemann 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.

Normally, there are no heading levels assigned to certain characters as the structure is
determined from the succession of headings. However, this convention is used in Python’s
Style Guide for documenting which you may follow:
# with overline, for parts
* for chapters
= for sections
- for subsections
^ for subsubsections
" for paragraphs

Encryption

*"The design might not be perfect, but it’s good. Encryption is a first-class feature,
the implementation looks sane and I guess the deduplication trade-off is worth it. So… I’m going to use restic for
my personal backups.*" `Filippo Valsorda`_

Manage repository keys
**********************
The ``key`` command allows you to set multiple access keys or passwords
per repository. In fact, you can use the ``list``, ``add``, ``remove``
and ``passwd`` sub-commands to manage these keys very precisely:
.. code-block:: console
$ restic -r /tmp/backup key list
enter password for repository:
ID User Host Created

$ restic -r /tmp/backup key add
enter password for repository:
enter password for new key:
enter password again:
saved new key as <Key of username@kasimir, created on 2015-08-12 13:35:05.316831933 +0200 CEST>
$ restic -r backup key list
enter password for repository:
ID User Host Created
