Milkey Mouse 2ac0bf4980
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.

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.
