change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, fixes #343
...
one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 was that it had a default target chunk
size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks, a huge chunk management overhead
(high RAM and disk usage).

Mi does stand for a IEC binary prefix e.g. 2^20.

Use `--option` in RST to not render "--" as "–".

use finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, fixes #547 , fixes #487
...
the items metadata stream is usually not that big (compared to the file content data) -
it is just file and dir names and other metadata.
if we use too rough granularity there (and big minimum chunk size), we usually will get no deduplication.

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 "-"

PDKF is a key derivation function
...
do not use the word "encryption", as it is actually closer to "hashing" anyways.

it seems I extracted that data from [this mailing list post][] which
in turn takes it from [this github comment][].

according to @ThomasWaldmann, the algorithm varies according to whether encryption is enabled.

this should address #27 , #28 and #29 at least at a basic level
it is mostly based on the mailing list discussion mentionned in #27 ,
with some reformatting and merging of different posts.

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
