Don't require self-update --output placeholder file

Browse Source 
This removes the requirement on `restic self-update --output` to point
to a path of an existing file, to overwrite. In case the specified
path does exist we still want to verify that it's a regular file,
rather than a directory or a device, which gets overwritten.

We also want to verify that a path to a new file exists within an
existing directory. The alternative being running into that issue
after the actual download, etc has completed.

While at it I also replace `errors.Errorf` with the more appropriately
verbose `errors.Fatalf`.

Resolves #2491

Bugfix: Don't require `self-update --output` placeholder file
`restic self-update --output /path/to/new-restic` used to require that
new-restic was an existing file, to be overwritten. Now it's possible
to download an updated restic binary to a new path, without first
having to create a placeholder file.
