The screencast is still typed by expect, but it now runs in a container (podman or docker) instead of a vagrant VM, see #8040.

record.sh builds borg from the git tag given by BORG_VERSION, generates the demo data and records docs/misc/asciinema/borg2-demo.cast.

The demo itself was rewritten for borg 2: repo-create, an archive series addressed by archive IDs, mount, delete/undelete, prune, compact, check. The demo data is generated (notes, logs, a database dump) instead of downloading wallpaper jpegs, so that compression is actually visible.

Removes the borg 1.2 screencast scripts and recordings.
