As mentioned in issue [#1560](https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1560#issuecomment-364689346)
this changes the signature for `backend.Save()`. It now takes a
parameter of interface type `RewindReader`, so that the backend
implementations or our `RetryBackend` middleware can reset the reader to
the beginning and then retry an upload operation.
The `RewindReader` interface also provides a `Length()` method, which is
used in the backend to get the size of the data to be saved. This
removes several ugly hacks we had to do to pull the size back out of the
`io.Reader` passed to `Save()` before. In the `s3` and `rest` backend
this is actively used.
A user discovered[1] that when the backup finishes during the upload of
an intermediate index, the upload is cancelled and the index never fully
saved, but the snapshot is saved and the backup finalizes without an
error. This lead to a situation where a snapshot references data that is
contained in the repo, but not referenced in any index, leading to
strange error messages.
This commit uses a dedicated context to signal the intermediate index
uploading routine to terminate after the last index has been uploaded.
This way, an upload running when the backup finishes is completed before
the routine terminates and the snapshot is saved.

Index.Has() is a faster then Index.Lookup() for checking if a blob exists
in the index. As the returned data is never used, this avoids a ton
of allocations.
When looking up a blob in the master index, with several
indexes present in the master index, a significant amount of time
is spent generating errors for each failed lookup. However, these
errors are often used to check if a blob is present, but the contents
are not inspected making the overhead of the error not useful.
Instead, change Index.Lookup (and Index.LookupSize) to instead return
a boolean denoting if the blob was found instead of an error. Also change
all the calls to these functions to handle the new function signature.

At the moment when two items to be saved have the same directory name,
restic only saves the first one to the repo. Let's say we have a
structure like this:
dir1
└── subdir
└── file
dir2
└── subdir
└── file
When restic is run on `dir1/subdir` and `dir2/subdir`, it will only save
the first `subdir`:
$ restic backup dir1/subdir dir2/subdir
[...]
$ restic ls -l latest
drwxr-xr-x 1000 100 0 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir
-rw-r--r-- 1000 100 17 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir/file
That's obviously a bad thing, caused by an early decision to strip the
full path to the files/dirs to save and only leave the last directory.
This commit partly resolves this by handling colliding names and
resolving the conflicts. Restic will now append a counter to the file
(`-123`) until the conflict is resolved. So in the example above, we'll
end up with the following structure:
$ restic ls -l latest
drwxr-xr-x 1000 100 0 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir
-rw-r--r-- 1000 100 17 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir/file
drwxr-xr-x 1000 100 0 2017-08-27 20:56:46 /subdir-1
-rw-r--r-- 1000 100 17 2017-08-27 20:56:46 /subdir-1/file
This partly addresses #549 and closes#1179.
At first I thought that the obvious correction would be to archive the
full path. But it turns out that collisions may still occur: Suppose you
have a file named `foo` in the current directory, and the parent directory
also contains a file `foo`. Archiving these with restic also causes a
collision, since restic strips the `../` from the first file:
$ restic backup ../foo foo
This also happens with `tar`, which does not handle the collision and
will happily archive two files called `foo`.
So, the best way forward is to handle name collisions and archive the
whole path. The latter will be tackled in a separate PR.
