Bug fixes

• Restoring an older backup from Google Cloud Storage could abort before it started. Backups without a manifest fall back to a legacy index, but Google Cloud Storage reported the missing manifest in a way the restore did not recognise as “not found”, so the restore stopped instead of using the legacy index. Those restores now complete as expected.

• Restore failures on a manifest now report an accurate reason. Previously such a failure showed up as “Incorrect configuration”, which pointed you at your configuration for what is really a storage problem. It now reports a dedicated manifest failure, and a restore for a backup version that does not exist reports as “No such backup”.
