Fixed and merged:

- the inexcusable error with the missing quotes.
- Let’s Encrypt warning more gentle, for example, includes: “(A typical reason for failure is an AWS server with an elastic IP.)” to make it clearer that you just might know what you’re doing.
- makes a backup fail of `app.yml`.
- Will now recover if someone deleted LETSENCRYPT\_ACCOUNT\_EMAIL by hand.
