Merge pull request #3312 from milkey-mouse/borg-config-cmd 
Add borg config command

5b47cf6fa5
Add borg config command (fixes #3304) 
This command works similarly to "git config" - it parses repo and
cache configs to get, set, and delete values. It only works on local
repos so a malicious client can't e.g. override their storage quota
or reset the append_only flag.

Add tests for borg config

Add documentation for borg config

Change manual config edits -> borg config

There were a couple places in the documentation where it was advised
to edit the repository or cache config file, a process that is stream-
lined by borg config.

1a2906ae7e add FAQ about removing old files and policies 
This has been asked twice already this year:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/borgbackup/2017q3/000796.html
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/borgbackup/2017q4/000891.html

... and I was asked again privately today, so this qualifies as FAQ to
me.

e674822888 remove hardlinked symlinks warning, update docs, fixes #3175 
the warning was annoying for people with a lot of such items and
they can not do anything about it anyway.

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.
