Three small bugs in the legacy git-update flow that all hung off the
same never-set variable:
1. backup_install_dir was referenced in 4 files (reset_git_backup,
install_git_backup, use_git_backup, config_git_check) but DEFINED
nowhere — never has been, in any branch or tag. Resolved to "", so
"$backup_install_dir/$backupFolder" became "/backup_<ts>" (filesystem
root, perm denied). Add it to libreportalDerivePaths beside the other
roots, point it at $backup_dir/install (a sibling of restic's per-
location subdirs at $backup_dir/<idx>), and add it to initFolders so
it exists on first install.
2. gitCleanInstallBackups' find expression was
find ... -mindepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.zip' -o -type d ! -name '*.zip' -exec rm -rf {} +
`-o` binds looser than the implicit -a, so the -exec only applied to
the second clause. That meant: every non-.zip DIR anywhere under the
tree got deleted; every non-.zip FILE got matched and ignored. Even
once $backup_install_dir resolved correctly the cleanup would've
wrecked unrelated dirs.
Collapsed to `-mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 ! -name '*.zip' -exec rm -rf {} +`
— direct children of $backup_install_dir, kill everything that isn't
a zip, let -rf take care of the dirs. Synthetic-tree smoke test
confirms only the .zip files survive.
3. use_git_backup.sh had a typo'd doubled var:
copyFolders "$backup_install_dir$backup_install_dir/$backup_file_without_zip/" ...
Reduced to the single $backup_install_dir/$backup_file_without_zip/.
All three only fire in the manual-update path (libreportal update apply
under git/local install mode); the install-blocking path is unaffected.

The git-update backup helpers operate on the manager-owned $backup_install_dir:
use_git_backup unzip + config_git_check find -> runInstallOp; install_git_backup
standalone find -> runInstallOp (drop the nested -exec sudo rm), and its
cd && find | xargs rm pipeline drops its sudos (manager owns the dir). The
many 'sudo -u $sudo_user_name git/rm/zip' calls stay (already least-privilege).
