S3: fix documentation of publicurl

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.

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.
