feat: Add Borg Backup support to simple LVM backup system
- Add LV → Borg and VG → Borg backup modes - GUI: Borg settings panel with repo path, encryption, passphrase - CLI: Enhanced script with Borg options (--new-repo, --encryption, --passphrase) - Automatic repository initialization for new repos - Support for all Borg encryption modes (none, repokey, keyfile) - Mount snapshots temporarily for file-level Borg backups - Comprehensive cleanup of snapshots and mount points - Updated documentation and examples Benefits: - Deduplication and compression - Strong encryption support - Incremental backups capability - Space-efficient storage - Still maintains simple snapshot → backup → cleanup workflow

**Simple is better.** This system does exactly three things:
|
||||
1. Create LVM snapshot
|
||||
2. Copy data with dd/pv

2. Copy data (dd/pv for raw, Borg for repositories)
|

3. Clean up snapshot

No complex migration logic, no fancy features that can break. Just reliable backups.

### Five Backup Modes
|
||||
|
||||
- **LV → LV**: Update existing logical volume backups
|
||||
- **LV → Raw**: Create fresh backups on raw devices
|
||||
- **VG → Raw**: Clone entire volume groups with LVM metadata
|
||||
- **LV → Borg**: Backup logical volume to Borg repository (deduplicated, compressed, encrypted)
|
||||
- **VG → Borg**: Backup entire volume group to Borg repository
|
||||
|
