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

remove some software name references, fix grammar
