Paul D a85b643866 Docs grammar fixes.
One cannot "to not x", but one can "not to x".
Avoiding split infinitives gives the added bonus that machine
translation yields better results.

setup (n/adj) vs set(v) up. We don't "I setup it" but "I set it up".

Likewise for login(n/adj) and log(v) in, backup(n/adj) and back(v) up.

SYNOPSIS
--------
borg [common options] <command> [options] [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
.. we don't include the README.rst here since we want to keep this terse.
BorgBackup (short: Borg) is a deduplicating backup program.
Optionally, it supports compression and authenticated encryption.
The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to back data up.
The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable for daily backups
since only changes are stored.
The authenticated encryption technique makes it suitable for backups to targets not
fully trusted.
Borg stores a set of files in an *archive*. A *repository* is a collection
of *archives*. The format of repositories is Borg-specific. Borg does not
distinguish archives from each other in any way other than their name,
it does not matter when or where archives were created (e.g. different hosts).
