docs: update about archive series
...
in borg 1.x, we used to put a timestamp into the archive name to make
it unique, because borg1 required that.
borg2 does not require unique archive names, but it encourages you
to even use an identical archive name within the same SERIES of archives.
that makes matching (e.g. for prune, but also at other places) much
simpler and borg KNOWS which archives belong to the same series.

remove archive checkpointing
...
borg1 needed this due to its transactional / rollback behaviour:
if there was uncommitted stuff in the repo, next repo opening automatically
rolled back to last commit. thus we needed checkpoint archives to reference
chunks and commit the repo.
borg2 does not do that anymore, unused chunks are only removed when the
user invokes borg compact.
thus, if a borg create gets interrupted, the user can just run borg create
again and it will find some chunks are already in the repo, making progress
even if borg create gets frequently interrupted.

Doc / Deployment with ansible: pacman -> package
...
Using "package" ansible module make the ansible playbook able to run
against most unix OSes. Pacman module only works with Arch and derivatives.
Also : changing state from "latest" to "present". Ansible should not be
a way to keep your system up-to-date : it's a configuration management
system and, as such, should not change anything if neither the playbook
nor the machine changed its state (idempotency).
