Fail restore for a requested path that matches nothing (closes #309)
check / check (push) Successful in 11m37s

snapshot restore said nothing about a requested path that matched no
entry in the snapshot (a typo, a relative path, or a path through a
symlinked snapshot path, whose entries are stored under the resolved
directory) and exited 0, even when nothing matched. Each such path is
now named in a warning as soon as the file list is built, so it shows
even when the restore then stops on an error, and restore returns an
error after restoring the paths that do match. The restore summary
moved into finishRestore to keep Restore within the length limit.

Making a path through a symlink match is not part of this change.
Judgement call: when the restore itself fails, that error is returned.
