Do not prune after a backup that found a configured path empty (closes #388)

snapshot create --prune of a snapshot whose path was an empty
directory, as the mount point of a volume that is not mounted is,
recorded an empty snapshot and then purged the older snapshots that
held the data, with their blobs.

The scan now counts the entries it finds in each configured path.
Under --prune, a run in which a path of a snapshot it made held
nothing skips the prune, keeps every older snapshot, names each such
path with its snapshot, and exits non-zero, as
#382 does for unreadable
files. A configured path that is a symlink whose target is gone fails
the run. Only the current run is looked at. Without --prune nothing
changes.
