Depending on how long an operation takes to fail, the total retry
duration can currently vary between 1.5 and 15 minutes. In particular
for temporarily interrupted network connections, the former timeout is
too short. Thus always use a limit of 15 minutes.
If a file exhausts its retry attempts, then it is likely not accessible
the next time. Thus, immediately fail all load calls for that file to
avoid useless retries.
The Test method was only used in exactly one place, namely when trying
to create a new repository it was used to check whether a config file
already exists.
Use a combination of Stat() and IsNotExist() instead.
The RetryBackend tests depend on the mock backend. When the Backend
interface is eventually split from the restic package, this will lead to
a dependency cycle between backend and backend/mock. Thus split the
RetryBackend into a separate package to avoid this problem.
