Leo R. Lundgren 6d39410958 doc: Reword parts of the text, replace rclone with rest-server
The intent here is to make the text more consistent in its use of different
concepts involved in explaining the idea and setup that is explained, and
to make it easier to follow.

We're also replacing rclone with rest-server, not because we dislike rclone
but in order to keep the text to the basic tooling and the main restic eco-
system.

Finally we also remove the previous tip at the end about keeping the SSH tunnel
up, as it will be during the time the SSH session is running (in which the user
is expected to run the restic commands).

Emanuele Rocca 38c0531b52 doc: specify AWS Region via AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
If no specific Region is mentioned in RESTIC_REPOSITORY, AWS defaults to
us-east-1. For this reason, users that follow the tutorial and create
their S3 bucket in any other region get the following error:

"Fatal: create repository at [...] client.BucketExists"

Explicitly specifying the AWS region name fixes the issue.

Gurjeet Singh 34a6a24544 Use S3's proper product name, Amazon S3
Per Amazon's product page [1], S3 is officially called "Amazon S3". The
restic project uses the phrase "AWS S3" in some places. This patch
corrects the product name.

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.
