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.

fork: s/attic/borg/g, fix URLs, add new section to AUTHORS
...
use borg instead attic except at the places where it was used:
- as toplevel package name, directory name, file name
- to refer to original attic
remove sphinx upload make command, will be replaced by github.io site later
remove references to binary downloads and linux packages for now
remove some software name references, fix grammar
use borgbackup rather than borg-backup (or borg) in URLs,
less name collision issues, better search results, no validity issues with "-"
