docs+drill: grok's export nits — --force documented, backups key drilled live

Browse source 
Three of the four round-1 nits, taken: --force's overwrite role on
export now sits in OPTIONS and 'help export' (it was only in the die
text); the restricted-tier rehearsal asserts restricted.backups=allow
beside the snapshots check it mirrors, so the grant key #70 depends on
is proven live, not only grepped; and reset_identity says "instance" —
it has two callers now, and only one of them clones. The install.sh
message stays #79's (the documented merge order).
