Add group-accessible-repos option (#308)

* Add group-accessible-repos option

The group-accessible-repos option will let filesystem group id
be able to access files and dir within the restic repo
Default stick with old behaviour to be owner restricted
While here make dirMode and fileMode within Options struct
private

+Enhancement: Support group accessible repositories
+
+Rest-server now supports making repositories accessible to the filesystem group
+by setting the `--group-accessible-repos` option. Note that permissions of
+existing files are not modified. Use `chmod -R g+rwX /path/to/repo` to make
+the repository group-accessible.
