Notable changes in 0.33.1 since 0.33

Bugs

POSIX1e ACLs should be restored correctly now. Previously there were two problems.

First, bup incorrectly restored default (ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT) ACLs as access acls (ACL_TYPE_ACCESS). When both existed, it restored the access ACL first and then the default ACL as an access ACL. Now, bup should restore each with the proper type. This issue only affects saves created on platforms where bup currently supports ACLs, so presumably mostly just saves created on Linux since the current ACL support depends on non-standard functions like acl_extended(3).

Second, bup stored ACLs in the acl_to_any_text(3) format with a newlne delimiter, when the standard (and acl_from_text(3) which restore depends on) requires commas. Now bup uses commas, and translates previously created saves during restore when possible. If a previously created ACL entry contains a comma, then bup will give up, report an error, and skip it. If nothing else, this could cause restores of relevant saves to fail on some platforms.

MAKE=path ./configure ... now supports relative paths.
./configure will now look for python3.11-config, and won't look for python3.6-config (bup requires 3.7+).
pytest 7 is now supported.
