Bugfix: Exclude irregular files from backups
Since restic 0.17.1, files with the type `irregular` could mistakenly be included
in snapshots, especially when backing up special file types on Windows that
restic cannot process. This issue has now been fixed.
Previously, this bug caused the `check` command to report errors like the
following one:
```
tree 12345678[...]: node "example.zip" with invalid type "irregular"
```
To repair affected snapshots, upgrade to restic 0.17.2 and run:
```
restic repair snapshots --forget
```
This will remove the `irregular` files from the snapshots (creating
a new snapshot ID for each of the affected snapshots).
