check docs about (not archiving) atime #2518

Description

@ThomasWaldmann

check if we have enough docs talking about metadata stream deduplication and (not) archiving of atime.

if atime of a lot of fs objects changes between backups, deduplication suffers. but we have an option to not store atime into an archive (if it is not needed).

this also might strongly affect caching repo size when borg resyncs the chunks cache (and reads all metadata streams of all archives, using a caching repo):

as all metadata stream chunks get written into that caching repo, there will be a lot more if there isn't much deduplication if atimes of a lot of fs object are always changing between backups and thus create different metadata stream chunks in each archive.
