Subject line says it all.

See http://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/20216/105.

It's a reasonable question.  A user sees files with `~' at the end of
the name, and wonders what they are.  How to find info about that in the
manual?

I added index entries, but I really doubt this will help
discoverability: there are 12 index entries in the manual that include
"~", and the new one I added is the 5th hit...
