docs: fix some -a / --match-archives issues
at some places, the docs were not updated yet.

for borg 1.x, -a (aka --glob-archives) expected
sh: style glob patterns ONLY (but one must not
give sh: explicitly).

for borg 2, -a (aka --match-archives) defaults
to id: style (identical match), so one must give
sh: if one wants shell-style globbing.

::
# delete a single backup archive:
$ borg delete Monday
# actually free disk space:
$ borg compact
# delete all archives whose names begin with the machine's hostname followed by "-"
$ borg delete -a 'sh:{hostname}-*'
# delete all archives whose names contain "-2012-"
$ borg delete -a 'sh:*-2012-*'
# see what would be deleted if delete was run without --dry-run
$ borg delete --list --dry-run -a 'sh:*-May-*'
