doc: use regional urls for Amazon S3 and add generic s3 provider section

Split description for non-Amazon S3 providers into separate section. The
section now also includes the `s3.bucket-lookup` extended option. Switch
to using regional URLs for Amazon S3 to replace the need for setting the
region.

S3-compatible Storage
*********************
For an S3-compatible server that is not Amazon, you can specify the URL to the server
like this: ``s3:https://server:port/bucket_name``.
If needed, you can manually specify the region to use by either setting the
environment variable ``AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`` or calling restic with an option
parameter like ``-o s3.region="us-east-1"``. If the region is not specified,
the default region ``us-east-1`` is used.
To select between path-style and virtual-hosted access, the extended option
``-o s3.bucket-lookup=auto`` can be used. It supports the following values:
- ``auto``: Default behavior. Uses ``dns`` for Amazon and Google endpoints. Uses
``path`` for all other endpoints
- ``dns``: Use virtual-hosted-style bucket access
- ``path``: Use path-style bucket access
Certain S3-compatible servers do not properly implement the ``ListObjectsV2`` API,
most notably Ceph versions before v14.2.5. On these backends, as a temporary
workaround, you can provide the ``-o s3.list-objects-v1=true`` option to use the
older ``ListObjects`` API instead. This option may be removed in future versions
of restic.
