minor rewrite to make it less confusing (get rid of "Avoid to create a mixup") (#5490) 
docs: permissions note rewritten to make it less confusing

Original wording was confusing "Avoid to create a mixup of users and permissions in your repository (or cache)." is not clear, what should be avoided?

Also implement some feedback of @jdchristensen.

clarify who starts the remote agent 
It was unclear that the user _only_ needs to have borg installed on a remote system to use client/server mode. Hopefully this change makes it apparent that the user doesn't start anything on the remote system themselves.

94e93ba7e6 formula is only approximately correct 
the movement of the start of the hashing window stops at (file_size - window_size), thus THAT would be the factor in that formula, not just file_size.

for medium and big files, window_size is much smaller than file_size, so guess we can just say "approximately" for the general case.

37e1ae4735 Fix exceptions thrown by setup.py build_man 
While doing some doc updates I needed a way to test them - to build
the documentation and inspect the output. I ran into an issue:
running python setup.py build_man was throwing exceptions:

1. The import-tar parser had a None description causing:

    File "/home/user/borg/setup_docs.py", line 451, in write_heading
      write(char * len(header))
    TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

2. There was no docs/usage/import-tar.rst causing an exception too

b8bb0494f6 create --sparse, file map support for the "fixed" chunker, see #14 
a file map can be:

- created internally inside chunkify by calling sparsemap, which uses
  SEEK_DATA / SEEK_HOLE to determine data and hole ranges inside a
  seekable sparse file.
  Usage: borg create --sparse --chunker-params=fixed,BLOCKSIZE ...
  BLOCKSIZE is the chunker blocksize here, not the filesystem blocksize!

- made by some other means and given to the chunkify function.
  this is not used yet, but in future this could be used to only read
  the changed parts and seek over the (known) unchanged parts of a file.

sparsemap: the generate range sizes are multiples of the fs block size.
           the tests assume 4kiB fs block size.

e18649d2d2 Doc / Deployment with ansible: pacman -> package 
Using "package" ansible module make the ansible playbook able to run
against most unix OSes. Pacman module only works with Arch and derivatives.

Also : changing state from "latest" to "present". Ansible should not be
a way to keep your system up-to-date : it's a configuration management
system and, as such, should not change anything if neither the playbook
nor the machine changed its state (idempotency).

rephrase some warnings, fixes #5164 (#5241) 
rephrase some warnings, fixes #5164

borg check --repair and borg recreate are now present in the code since rather long, so they are not experimental any more.

borg recreate might be used wrongly (e.g. accidentally excluding everything / not matching anything when recreating an archive). added some warning words in the docs, but it will not ask for confirmation any more.

borg check: there might be kinds of corruption borg check --repair can not fix and it might make things even worse while trying to fix. so this will still ask for confirmation, just with different wording.

Fixed locking, issue #4923 (#4928) 
locking: fix ExclusiveLock race condition bug, fixes #4923

- ExclusiveLock is now based on os.rename instead of os.mkdir.
- catch FileNotFoundError observed under race condition in ExclusiveLock.release()
  and .kill_stale_lock()
- added TestExclusiveLock.test_race_condition() which reveals issue #4923
- updated docs
- locking: use "raise LockTimeout from None" for prettier traceback

c531901763 --umask is for the local borg process only, fixes #4947 
The umask value is NOT transmitted from client to server any more,
so the borg client can not influence the borg server umask any more.

If one wants to have a specific umask on the server side, one needs to
use a ssh forced command in .ssh/authorized_keys file.

OTOH, as the default value is 077 (in general, for client as well as for
the server) and the server does not take the value from the client any more,
there usually should be no need to give it on the server side, IF you are
happy with the default value.

5a32de918e allow key-import+BORG_KEY_FILE to create key files 
Running 'borg key import' on a keyfile repository with the BORG_KEY_FILE
environment variable set works correctly if the BORG_KEY_FILE file
already exists. However, the command crashes if the BORG_KEY_FILE file
does not exist:

    $ BORG_KEY_FILE=newborgkey borg key import /home/strager/borg-backups/straglum borgkey
    Local Exception

This commit does not change the behavior of 'borg key import' without

I used `grep -Pnr '.{100}' *.rst` to find lines >100 characters long and

Suppress Sphinx lexer warnings in frontends.rst 
Because some of the JSON blocks in frontends.rst included non-JSON
contents (user replies, etc.) the blocks didn't parse/highlight and
`make html` complained:

borg/docs/internals/frontends.rst:28: WARNING: Could not lex literal_block as "json".

There's no easy way to enable and disable highlighting just for
specific lines, but individually unsetting the highlight language per
block suppresses the warnings.

fc2c92b054 add a push-style example to borg-create(1) (#4613) 
add a push-style example to borg-create docs

When I browsed the readthedocs and manpages while setting up Borg for
myself for the first time, I saw multiple hints that pushing backups via
SSH is supported (e.g. the existence of the `borg serve` command and the
`--rsh` option), but I never found a clear example. I only found
<https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/general.html#repository-urls>
after being pointed to it by @ThomasWaldmann.

Therefore, an explicit example in the `borg create` documentation seems
appropriate. I put it next to the pull-style example using sshfs which
serves a similar usecase.

ef90cda43a Add "SSH Configuration" section (#4493) 
Add "SSH Configuration" section

Add "SSH Configuration" section to "borg serve" documentation, to outline ssh/sshd configuration to prevent borg serve keeping a lock on a repo in the event the ssh connection is abnormally disconnected.

In response to issues #3988, #636 and #4485 (and probably others).
