Enhancement: Improve handling of permanent backend errors
When encountering errors in reading from or writing to storage backends,
restic retries the failing operation up to nine times (for a total of ten
attempts). It used to retry all backend operations, but now detects some
permanent error conditions so it can report fatal errors earlier.
Permanent failures include local disks being full and SSH connections
dropping.
