Documentation for 'attic serve'
...
Thanks to @lfam (attic PR #277 )!
Note: As I already had refactored a lot of these pathes you changed, it was easier
to just cherry pick the hunks with the other changes and apply them manually.

get rid of some .borg, be consistent with the backup repo name and path
...
it's pretty useless to have .borg as a directory extension, especially
since there is a README in there stating that this is a borg repo.
conistency:
"backup" is always used as relative backup repository path
"/mnt/backup" is always used as absolute repository path

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 "-"

document key files in a new Internals page

this is still incomplete as it only describes key files, but doesn't
clearly say how chunks are encrypted or decrypted.
this address parts of #29 but eventually that document should also
cover #27 , #28 and maybe #45

this is written with recent Ubuntu and Debian in mind, but should be

this without knowning too much about ACLs or anything similar.
