S3: fix documentation of publicurl

Browse source 
5f0f063a7a documented it as being
configured automatically, but the code never did that. Rather than try
to hard-code whatever urls amazon  uses for its buckets, it seems better
to ask the user to find the url and set it.

The public=yes is the crtical part; this lets the public read the contents
of the bucket. (This feature needs git-annex 5.20150617 or newer.)
The public=yes makes git-annex set a S3 ACL so the files in the bucket
are publically readable. For git-annex to be able to download files from
that bucket without needing your AWS credentials, you then need to tell
it the url of the bucket. Find that url, and run:
# git annex enableremote pubs3 publicurl=...
In the above example, no encryption was used, but it will also work
if you enable encryption=shared. Then files will be encrypted on S3, and

It seems to me that you need to tell git-annex the publicurl to use to
download files from this S3 remote. That's the url to the top of the S3
bucket. Run `git annex enableremote publics3 publicurl=...' and push,
and it should then become available in every clone.
The documentation for publicurl says it's enabled by default when
public=yes, but AFAICS it's never actually done that. And I'm not sure I
want to hardcode those urls into git-annex. I've updated the documentation
instead.
