This release makes BorgWarehouse a lot more flexible about where your backups live: you can now send each repository to a different external storage, straight from the UI.

✨ Features

• Per-repository external storage 💾 : you can now keep some repositories local and send others to one or several external storages (an SSHFS remote, an NFS or SMB/CIFS share, a dedicated disk, an rclone mount, etc.). The target is picked from a "Storage location" selector when creating a repository. BorgWarehouse stores the data on the chosen storage and adds a symbolic link inside repos/ automatically, so quota, storage usage and last backup keep working transparently. Available targets are declared by the admin with the new STORAGE_TARGETS environment variable.

• Friendly names for your storage targets 🏷️ : mount paths are often cryptic, so you can give each target a readable name with the path|name syntax, for example STORAGE_TARGETS="/mnt/nas|Home NAS,/mnt/backup-disk". The name is shown in the storage selector and on each repository, while the real path stays the source of truth.

• Storage targets monitoring 🟢🔴 : a new Storage targets section in Account → Storage lists every declared target with a live status (online / unreachable) and a Test again button, so you can tell at a glance whether a mount is reachable and writable.

🎨 UI/UX

• New Storage tab in the account settings
• Storage chip on each repository in the list, showing its storage target on hover
• Icons added across all account settings categories for a more consistent look

🔄 Miscellaneous

• Safety guard: BorgWarehouse refuses to create a repository whose external target is the repos pool itself or nested inside it, to avoid double-counting and broken links
• Documentation updated: External storage and the STORAGE_TARGETS environment variable
• Additional unit and shell (bats) tests covering the storage targets logic
