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.

Thomas Waldmann cb5c9b63b3 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 "-"
