fixup: renamed "backups" to "recovery files"
* Other editors call "backup files" previous copies of saved files.
This role would be served by savepoint files in SciTECO.
* Likewise filename~ would point to such a backup file.
It therefore makes sense that savepoint files also end in tildes (.teco-n-filename~).
* Security copies of modified buffers would be called "auto-saves" (Emacs) or
"swap files" (Vim).
Both of these terms is IMHO misleading, so SciTECO now uses the
term "recovery file".
* "Recovery files" are now named #filename# just like in Emacs.
