Alexander Neumann 025ec9dff5 Allow excluding files with $ via --exclude-file
Previously it wasn't possbile to exclude files with a literal dollar
sign (`$`) via exclude files, now users can write `$$` for that.

Clarify live status display
When I backup one of my filesystems which has a lot of Hard Links (Backup directory of burp) the live status shows me 4.5 TB but it only takes up 1.2 TB of space in the repository. This is confusing because my repo is on S3 and I feared a huge Bill. This change should clarify this.

Oliver Gerlich 624a2d8305 040_backup.rst: quote wildcard characters
This doesn't really matter for --exclude in most cases, but it avoids
spreading bad ideas.

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.
