implement --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump, fixes #3160

do no read/archive bsdflags: borg create --nobsdflags ...
do not extract/set bsdflags: borg extract --nobsdflags ...

use cases:

- fs shows wrong / random bsdflags (bug in filesystem)
- fs does not support bsdflags anyway
- already archived bsdflags are wrong / unwanted
- borg shows any sort of unwanted effect due to get_flags, esp. on Linux

the nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.

if you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
borg create --exclude-nodump ...
