Cannot add directory as Repository

[JanSchnacki]

I guess this is not the most frequent setup, but I'm using a CIFS-mount from my NAS as a repository. Compared to getting borg installed on it, this is much easier.

Unfortunately, vorta currently only allows SSH-repositories. Is there any chance that you will support simple directories as repositories?

I considered this, as I'm also backing up to some external drives.

Since there is almost not difference in the commands, I'll probably support it. But there needs to be a distinction between local and remote. E.g. the restricted Wifi option doesn't apply, but I may want to look for mounts.

Let's collect the required features here and then I'll add them.

This also ties into #5. Since you likely have some remote and some local repos.

Yeah, checking for presence of the mountpoint can be beneficial. But... ;)

I'm using the "automount" parameter for this mountpoint, which causes it to be mounted on first access. So (for me) this would need to be an optional check.

Added this feature. Seems to work fine, but needs some more testing before release.
