backup: refer to backed up data as backup source not target 

A backup reads from the source and writes it to the backup target
(repository). The name "target" is kept within the source code as it's
used there excessively.

@ -100,7 +100,7 @@ Restic handles globbing and expansion in the following ways:
- Globbing is only expanded for lines read via ``--files-from``
- Environment variables are not expanded in the file read via ``--files-from``
- ``*`` is expanded for paths read via ``--files-from``
- e.g. For backup targets given to restic as arguments on the shell, neither glob expansion nor shell variable replacement is done. If restic is called as ``restic backup '*' '$HOME'``, it will try to backup the literal file(s)/dir(s) ``*`` and ``$HOME``
- e.g. For backup sources given to restic as arguments on the shell, neither glob expansion nor shell variable replacement is done. If restic is called as ``restic backup '*' '$HOME'``, it will try to backup the literal file(s)/dir(s) ``*`` and ``$HOME``
- Double-asterisk ``**`` only works in exclude patterns as this is a custom extension built into restic; the shell must not expand it
