Since Go 1.21, most reparse points are considered as irregular files. Depending on the underlying driver these can exhibit nearly arbitrary behavior. When encountering such a file, restic returned an indecipherable error message: `error: invalid node type ""`. Add the filepath to the error message and state that the file type is not supported.
