Alexander Neumann f9501e97a2 Only add entries to indexes inside PackerManager
This was a nasty bug. Users reported that restic aborts with panic:

    panic: store new item in finalized index

The code calling panic() is in the Store() method of an index and guards
the failure case that an index is to be modified while it has already
been saved in the repo.

What happens here (at least that's what I suspect): PackerManager calls
Current() on a MasterIndex, which yields one index A. Concurrently,
another goroutine calls Repository.SaveFullIndex(), which in turn calls
MasterIndex.FullIndexes(), which (among others) yields the index A. Then
all indexes are marked as final. Then the other goroutine is executed
which adds an entry to the index A, which is now marked as final. Then
the panic occurs.

The commit solves this by removing MasterIndex.Current() and adding a
Store() method that stores the entry in one non-finalized index. This
method uses the same RWMutex as the other methods (e.g. FullIndexes()),
thereby ensuring that the full indexes can only be processed before or
after Store() is called.

Closes #367
