doc: Warn about compatibility issues with CIFS and restic

Browse source 
On Linux CIFS (SMB) seems to be incompatible with the async preemption
implementation of Go 1.14. CIFS seems not to restart syscalls (open,
read, chmod, readdir, ...) as expected by Go, which sets SA_RESTART for
its signal handler to have syscalls restarted automatically. This leads
to Go passing up lots of EINTR return codes to restic.

See https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2659 for a detailed explanation.

On Linux, storing the backup repository on a CIFS (SMB) share is not
recommended due to compatibility issues. Either use another backend
or set the environment variable `GODEBUG` to `asyncpreemptoff=1`.
