fix: drop reference to signature and define MAC
Poly1305-AES is not a signature, so don't mention that.

In addition, the term MAC was used without being defined, so add a
definition.

Add a global option --retry-lock
Fixes restic#719

If the option is passed, restic will wait the specified duration of time
and retry locking the repo every 10 seconds (or more often if the total
timeout is relatively small).

- Play nice with json output
- Reduce wait time in lock tests
- Rework timeout last attempt
- Reduce test wait time to 0.1s
- Use exponential back off for the retry lock
- Don't pass gopts to lockRepo functions
- Use global variable for retry sleep setup
- Exit retry lock on cancel
- Better wording for flag help
- Reorder debug statement
- Refactor tests
- Lower max sleep time to 1m
- Test that we cancel/timeout in time
- Use non blocking sleep function
- Refactor into minDuration func

Michael Eischer 00575ecffe doc: Remove mixed pack files from index example
The example given for the format of an index shows a mixed pack file.
Mixing tree and data blobs has been deprecated for a long time. Thus,
change the pack to only contain "data" blobs.

Michael Eischer 0eddc89e98 doc: design.rst: Fix highlighting for index snippet
JSON does not support comments. As JSON is a subset of Javascript, use
the latter instead.

Leo R. Lundgren 676d5d498c doc: Update forget security considerations and thread model 2022-03-23 23:12:19 +01:00
Luc Gommans 9c1d49e312 Document "forget" security considerations and add references
Removing data based on a policy when the attacker had the opportunity to
add data to your repository comes with some considerations. This is
added to the 060_forget.rst documentation.

That document is also updated to reflect that restic now considers
the current system time while running "forget".

References to the security considerations section are added:
- In `restic forget --help`
- In the threat model (design.rst)
- In the (030) setup section where an append-only setup is referenced

A reference is also to be added to the `rest-server` readme's
append-only paragraph (see my fork).

This commit also resolves a typo (amount->number for countable noun),
changes a password length recommendation into the metric that
actually matters when creating passwords (entropy) since I was editing
these doc files anyway, and updates the outdated copyright year in
`conf.py`.

Some wording in 060_forget (line 21..22) was changed to clarify what
"forget" and "prune" do, to try and avoid the apparent misconception
that "forget" does not remove any data.

Gurjeet Singh 34a6a24544 Use S3's proper product name, Amazon S3
Per Amazon's product page [1], S3 is officially called "Amazon S3". The
restic project uses the phrase "AWS S3" in some places. This patch
corrects the product name.

Jan Niggemann f5b550191c doc: Refactors the documentation
This commit refactors the documentation according to my proposal in #1273
and the discussion I had with fd0 on IRC.

The bits from the manual that I could not immediately put into the new
structure are contained in manual_rest.rst Anything else is still there,
nothing has been deleted.

I changed the heading markup to follow the convention used in Python’s
Style Guide for documentation, this convention is explained in a comment
at the top of every file.

I also added a paragraph on installing restic on Debian.
