Add aliases for backups #288

Hey, I saw you at the Froscon and I really like restic. I played around with it a little bit and I have an idea for an improvement. I would love to be able to store different backups in a config file so that I could just run something like
restic backup foo
and restic knows that this backup "foo" has a source dir and a destination dir (that could be stored in a json config file in ~/config/restic or something). This would be nice for some different backups that always have the same options, such as: "backup ~/devel to my external harddrive" or "backup ~/Documents to my server" and so on. Of course, I could write bash scripts to do that kind of thing, but integrating it into restic directly would be nice, I guess.
