document key files in a new Internals page

this is still incomplete as it only describes key files, but doesn't
clearly say how chunks are encrypted or decrypted.
this address parts of #29 but eventually that document should also
cover #27 , #28 and maybe #45

document better different dependencies

this is written with recent Ubuntu and Debian in mind, but should be
working everywhere. the idea here is to make sure anyone can install
this without knowning too much about ACLs or anything similar.

Normalize source/exclude paths before matching

This normalizes the file names in the dot directory when specified explicitly,
along with exclude/include patterns.
This fixes several mismatches when including relative paths that involve the
current directory.

Revert "Reduce memory usage when backing up many small files"

The memory usage should be reduced a fair bit by #90 so this

cache: Reduce file cache memory usage ( #90 )
...
The memory usage is reduced at the expence of extra msgpack
packing/unpacking. Hopefully this is a good tradeoff.
Ideally the entire cache should be replaced with a radix tree
but that will have to wait a bit.
