[docs] Rework backups a bit (#1942) * [docs] Rework backups a bit This changes the existing backup documentation to: * Push a bit harder on people to perform backups, it's not really just a nice to have * Removes the language about migrating to/from GoToSocial and a different ActivityPub server since that's really not supported * Adds a section about using backup software and provides an example on how to do this using Borgmatic * [docs] Remove too much info in db section * [docs] Add docs on how to backup local media This adds documentation pointing people at the media list-local command in order to determine what media files they need to include as part of their backups. Provides a Python script that people can use to transform the media listing from the CLI into Borg patterns. It also includes a Borgmatic config.yaml in the repository so people can easily fetch it instead of copy-pasting from the docs. * [bugfix] Ensure we emit an absolute path prefix It works either way, as a pattern like data/files/<ID> would match a file on /data/files/<ID>. But it would potentially also match any path that happens to include data/files/<ID> but not rooted at the storage-local-base-path. * [docs] Add more links to media list CLI reference

# Borgmatic
You can find two helper files here:
* [config.yaml](config.yaml) an example configuration for Borgmatic
* [media-to-borg-patterns](media-to-borg-patterns.py) to generate Borg patterns for backing up local media
Take a look at the [backup documentation](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/admin/backup_and_restore/) for how to use them.
