restic: ignore filenames which are not IDs when expanding a prefix 

Some backends generate additional files for each existing file, e.g.

1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef.sha256

For some commands this leads to an "multiple IDs with prefix" error when
trying to reference a snapshot.

Enhancement: Ignore additional files in repository
Some commands like `find` and `restore` could become confused by additional
files in the repository. This could cause restic to fail with an `multiple IDs
with prefix "12345678" found` error. These commands now ignore additional
files.
