Add three different deprecation warnings related to EncFS removal (#1734) and add a whitepaper to explain the situation.

  • Manage profiles dialog: A simple warning as QLabel for "SSH encrypted" and "Local encrypted" profiles.
  • Manage profiles dialog: A message dialog pops up when switching the modes combo box to one of the two encrypted modes.
  • Start BIT GUI: A message dialog pops up, just one time, on start up of the Back In Time GUI if an encrypted snapshot profile exists. That message dialog can be re-opened via the Help menu.
  • Add a markdown document (whitepaper) to explain the situation. All three messages do link to that document.
  • Modified "backintime.1" and its section "NOTES ON SECURITY" man page.
