Thomas Waldmann e7f25d7821 docs: use zlib,6 compression in some examples, fixes #275
This is what attic used by default, but borgbackup defaults to "no compression".

I just adjusted the command invocation, so we can keep the example output
(which shows that stuff was compressed).

Also: add FAQ item about compression.
