borg: add configuration to displace the cache directory

Browse Source 
borg will by default create its cache directory in ~/.cache/borg. This
means that during backup runs, borg will read and write quite
extensively from/to this directory.

In some situations, it is rather undesirable to have this amount of IO
activity in this location and it would make sense to tell borg to place
its cache elsewhere. This can help for example with placing the cache on
a hard drive where the added IO load will not have as big of an impact
on other running activity for the system.

This change also makes sure that the cache directory environment
variable is cleared out when the configuration option is unset. This
should avoid unpleasant surprises when this environment variable is set
to some unknown value in the context where backupninja is called, which
could lead to borg reading and writing to random places on the system.
