Bugfix: Do not require gs bucket permissions when running `init`

Restic used to require bucket level permissions for the `gs` backend 
in order to initialize a restic repository.

It now allows a `gs` service account to initialize a repository if the
bucket does exist and the service account has permissions to write/read
to that bucket.

do not require gs bucket permissions to init repository a gs service account may only have object permissions on an existing bucket but no bucket create/get permissions. these service accounts currently are blocked from initialization a restic repository because restic can not determine if the bucket exists. this PR updates the logic to assume the bucket exists when the bucket attribute request results in a permissions denied error. this way, restic can still initialize a repository if the service account does have object permissions fixes: https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3100 2020-11-18 00:44:26 +00:00
