Release 1.4.3

[ThomasWaldmann]

borgbackup 1.4.3

borg 1.4.x is kind of a refreshed 1.2 with mostly the same features and behavior, but a few bigger changes that could introduce issues and thus were not suitable for just releasing them as 1.2.x, but rather needed some testing first.

Long changelog:

Discussion: ...

Note:

• *-gh binaries are built on GitHub now. These Linux and FreeBSD binaries do support borg mount(FUSE filesystem), but the macOS binaries don't (use our brew tap!).
• I built and signed the borg-linux-glibc231-x86_64* binaries locally.

The 1.4.2 Linux *-gh binaries did not have working FUSE support, I now released 1.4.3 to fix that.

Also, 1.4.3 now has a FreeBSD *-gh binary (also with FUSE support).

1.4.3 likely has the last macOS 13 Intel binary. Github is switching off these machines. I will try to build the macOS Intel binaries on whatever machine/OS they offer. #9073
