borg is able to process stdin during backups when backing up the special path -,
which can be very useful for backing up things that can be streamed (eg database
dumps, zfs snapshots).
As the only consequence of isSystemUser is that if the uid is null then
it's allocated below 500, if a user has uid = something below 500 then
we don't require isSystemUser to be set.
Motivation: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/112647
* creating a local backup
* creating a borgbackup server
* backing up to a borgbackup server
* hints about the Vorta graphical desktop application
* Added documentation about Vorta desktop client
Tested the examples locally and with my borgbase.com account.
Currently to run borg job manually, you have to use systemctl:
```
$ systemctl start borgbackup-job-jobname.service
```
This commit makes wrappers around borg jobs available in $PATH, which have
BORG_REPO and connection args set correctly:
```
$ borg-job-jobname list
$ borg-job-jobname mount ::jobname-archive-2019-12-25T00:01:29 /mnt/some-path
$ borg-job-jobname create ::test /some/path
```

When having backup jobs that persist to a removable device like an
external HDD, the directory shouldn't be created by an activation script
as this might confuse auto-mounting tools such as udiskie(8).
In this case the job will simply fail, with the former approach
udiskie ran into some issues as the path `/run/media/ma27/backup` was
already there and owned by root.
