    Allow setting of global rsync command and rsync args · 46533d5a
    Dr Catherine Pitt authored
    This adds a new config file which allows setting the command to use for
    'rsync' and global options for that command. This is motivated by the
    need to use an alternative rsync command on Jammy machines, as the
    system one is too slow.
    
    The option for global rsync arguments was added as a way to add the
    '--trust-sender' flag to all backups to turn off certain checks that we
    suspect to be the cause of the slowdown, but it didn't help enough to
    fix the speed problem. Instead we are going to use our own package of an
    older rsync from before the checking code was added, which of course
    doesn't support --trust-sender so the global args are left blank.
