Add PGP fingerprint to 020_installation.rst
I like the idea of verifying the integrity of applications, I download from the internet. So I was very happy to see that restic does provide SHA256-checksums which are signed with the maintainers PGP key.

The only thing I miss: I could not find a direct way to download the used PGP key and verify the keys fingerprint.

Doing some searches, I found:
* https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/121
* https://restic.net/blog/2015-09-16/verifying-code-archive-integrity/

To help other restic users, I think you should add information about your PGP key/fingerprint to this installation doc, too. To save you some precious time, I created a draft, how this doc might be expanded, in this pull-request. You are free to accept it or change the text to your liking.

I copied the key/fingerprint text from: ``restic/restic/master/doc/090_participating.rst``

Thank you for your work in restic!

Alexander Neumann c1a3de4a6e Refactor max-unused calculation, add `unlimited` option
Add a callback to the PruneOptions struct which calculates the number of
bytes allowed to be unused after prune is done. This way, the logic is
closer to the option parsing code.

Also, add an explicit option `unlimited` for the use case when storage
does not matter but bandwidth and time do. Internally, this sets the
maximum number of unused bytes to MaxUint64.

Rework the documentation slightly so that no more "packs" are
mentioned and it talks about "files" instead.

Make it clear in the documentation that the percentage given to
`--max-unused` is relative to the whole repository size after pruning is
done. If specified, it must be below 100%, otherwise the repository
would contain 100% of unused data, which is pointless.

I had a hard time coming up with the correct formula to calculate the
maximum number of unused bytes based on the number of used bytes. For a
fraction `p` (0 ≤ p < 1), a repo with `u` bytes used, and the number of
unused bytes `x` the following holds:

      x ≤ p * (u+x)
    ⇔ x ≤ p*u + p*x
    ⇔ x - p*x ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x * (1-p) ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x ≤ p/(1-p) * u

operation will fail the user has not sufficient permissions to use VSS.

Snapshotting volumes also covers mountpoints but skips UNC paths.

greatroar ae179ee63e Systematize documentation of environment variables
Cache locations were documented inconsistently in three places.

The backup docs mentioned PATH being used to find fusermount, which is
never run by restic backup. It now mentions ssh and rclone, which are
used by backends.

The notion of a "system-wide" environment variable makes no sense.
TMPDIR is now mentioned because it allows for optimization and may
have security implications.

Jason Cox 2447f3f110 Update usage strings to put flags before args
The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.

Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).

Peter Schultz 758b44b9c0 gs: support authentication with access token
In the Google Cloud Storage backend, support specifying access tokens
directly, as an alternative to a credentials file. This is useful when
restic is used non-interactively by some other program that is already
authenticated and eliminates the need to store long lived credentials.

The access token is specified in the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN environment
variable and takes precedence over GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.

David Sommer 5729d967f5 backup: Return exit status code 3 when failing to read source data
The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot
could be created successfully, even if some of the source files could not
be read (in which case the snapshot would contain the rest of the files).

This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete
backups by looking at the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit
codes for the backup command:

 - 0 when the command was successful
 - 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created)
 - 3 when some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)

Michael Eischer f1b4d97945 doc: Warn about compatibility issues with CIFS and restic
On Linux CIFS (SMB) seems to be incompatible with the async preemption
implementation of Go 1.14. CIFS seems not to restart syscalls (open,
read, chmod, readdir, ...) as expected by Go, which sets SA_RESTART for
its signal handler to have syscalls restarted automatically. This leads
to Go passing up lots of EINTR return codes to restic.

See https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2659 for a detailed explanation.

obvious to the user.
