commit usage files directly into git the generation of those files was causing us way too much pain to justify automatically generating them all the time. those will have to be re-generated with `build_api` or `build_usage` as appropriate, for example when function signatures or commandline flags change. see #384

Better help texts and Sphinx reproduction of usage - Group options - Nicer list of options in Sphinx - Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help) The latter is done by explicitly declaring --help in the common_parser, which is then inherited by the sub-parsers; no change in observable behaviour.

--list output verbose list of items (files, dirs, ...)
-n, --dry-run do not actually change any files
-e PATTERN, --exclude PATTERN exclude paths matching PATTERN
--exclude-from EXCLUDEFILE read exclude patterns from EXCLUDEFILE, one per line
--pattern PATTERN experimental: include/exclude paths matching PATTERN
--patterns-from PATTERNFILE experimental: read include/exclude patterns from PATTERNFILE, one per line
--numeric-owner only obey numeric user and group identifiers
--strip-components NUMBER Remove the specified number of leading path elements. Pathnames with fewer elements will be silently skipped.
--stdout write all extracted data to stdout
--sparse create holes in output sparse file from all-zero chunks

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command extracts the contents of an archive. By default the entire
archive is extracted but a subset of files and directories can be selected
by passing a list of ``PATHs`` as arguments. The file selection can further
be restricted by using the ``--exclude`` option.
See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on exclude patterns.
Merge branch '1.0-maint'

By using ``--dry-run``, you can do all extraction steps except actually writing the
output data: reading metadata and data chunks from the repo, checking the hash/hmac,

decrypting, decompressing.
``--progress`` can be slower than no progress display, since it makes one additional
pass over the archive metadata.
