  1. archiver: Shortcut for handling empty files 

    Regular files that are empty according to stat are now not opened for
reading their contents. Such files are quite common (in my homedir, at
least) and we can save multiple system calls this way. On a network
filesystem, that can mean round trips. Also, we can back up empty files
that we cannot open for reading. Finally, fixes restic#4257.

Existing tests cover this case. fs.Reader now no longer has a meaningful
Size. Nothing depended on that.
