Rdiff-backup

=== Changes

* CHG: introduce pyproject.toml to comply with PEP517 and PEP621,
normal users shouldn't notice a difference, packagers might need to
adapt, closes 757
* CHG: rdiff-backup executable under Windows is built with Python
3.12.0 and librsync 2.3.4, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference
for normal users
* CHG: rdiff-backup supports and hence is being tested with Python 3.9
to 3.12
* CHG: Remove RPM spec files from repository as outdated, check your
favourite distro if you need them, or ask us
* CHG: the API 200 has been removed from the code and isn't supported
anymore, i.e. rdiff-backup isn't compatible anymore with version 2.0
* CHG: the placeholder '%s' isn't accepted anymore in remote schemas,
use '{h}' instead
* DOC: add FAQ example of script validating free disk space before
starting a backup, increasing the chance to avoid a repository
corruption
* DOC: repository format changes have been moved to API changelog
documentation
* FIX: correct pyproject license to SPDX notation, closes 948
* FIX: regression of repository with long filenames could fail because
of wrong order, closes 869
* FIX: user and group names with UTF-8 characters can now be restored,
closes 938
* NEW: Git archives, also from GitHub, get enough information for
setuptools-scm resp. setup.sh to properly identify the rdiff-backup
version; this might make packaging slightly easier
* NEW: Python module versions are saved as part of zip file for Windows
using pip freeze, closes 957
* NEW: rdiff-backup uses metadata like the checksum to validate the
need for a regression, greatly improving speed of regression.
* NEW: tox_smoke.ini for smoke tests with less dependencies, especially
without coverage, avoiding to write in root-protected paths, closes 949

=== Changes

* CHG: embed Python 3.11.0 on Windows and use latest PyInstaller, no
user should notice anything though
* CHG: man page for the old rdiff-backup CLI syntax has been removed
* CHG: option --override-chars-to-quote removed, use --chars-to-quote
instead, as generic option
* CHG: the old CLI syntax (the one without actions and sub-options) has
been removed, check the migration docs and examples for mappings
between old and new CLI, closes 793
* FIX: the bash completion would sometimes fail when trying to complete
_within_ already entered arguments
* FIX: there was a spurious warning about server deprecation, this has
disappeared because the old CLI isn't supported anymore, see 922

rdiff-backup under Windows (see 484 for enhancement), closes 880

201
