+Enhancement: Validate include/exclude patterns before restoring
+
+Patterns provided to `restic restore` via `--exclude`, `--iexclude`,
+`--include` and `--iinclude` weren't validated before running the restore.
+Invalid patterns would result in error messages being printed repeatedly
+and possibly unwanted files being restored.
+restic now validates all patterns before running the restore and aborts with
+a fatal error if an invalid pattern is detected.
