doc: add mention of restore --exclude/--include 

There is a lot more detail that could be added here, but it is worth
getting things off the ground with at least a mention that it is
possible to restore individual files.

Use ``--exclude`` and ``--include`` to restrict the restore to a subset of
files in the snapshot. For example, to restore a single file:
.. code-block:: console
$ restic -r /tmp/backup restore 79766175 --target /tmp/restore-work --include /work/foo
enter password for repository:
restoring <Snapshot of [/home/user/work] at 2015-05-08 21:40:19.884408621 +0200 CEST> to /tmp/restore-work
This will restore the file ``foo`` to ``/tmp/restore-work/work/foo``.
