Antoine Beaupré 7f9a147e46 move fork differences to FAQ
it seems now that the fork is more of historical value than a current
thing. people interested in the differences between borg and attic can
look in the FAQ, but I do not see why this is present in the README.

a new section regarding compatibility is created to keep that warning
in place.

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.
