rclone: Workaround for incorrect "not found" errors while listing files

Browse source 
rclone returns a "not found" error if an internal error occurs while
listing a folder. Ignoring this error lets restic erroneously think that
there are no files, which can cause `prune` to wipe the whole
repository.

Bugfix: Improve error handling for `rclone` backend
Since restic 0.16.0, if rclone encountered an error while listing files,
this could in rare circumstances cause restic to assume that there are no
files. Although unlikely, this situation could result in data loss if it
were to happen right when the `prune` command is listing existing snapshots.
Error handling has now been improved to detect and work around this case.
