Fixes a bug in which the userid of the ticket cache is updated,
when a user connects, but the ticket itself is not.
This means a newly connected user has a previously connected
user's ticket and thus, cannot do anything, as the client will
attempt to use the invalid ticket.
e.g. if john@pbs connected to the server first, followed by
mike@pbs, the following would be stored in the ticket cache.
{
"localhost": {
"mike@pbs": {
"ticket": "PBS:john@pbs:AAAA",
"timestamp": 1601039326,
"token": "BBBB"
}
}
}

This removes the "Backup Management" first level heading in the docs,
and either uses the sub headings contained within it as first level
headings, or groups previous sections logically under new headings.
The administration-guide.rst file is also removed. Its contents are
instead separated into various files, that relate to their respective
first level heading.

This improves consistency in the docs by using only

The ' ' (space) between 'etc/ **/*.txt' resulted in the example command's output
not matching the given example output. Removing this space fixes the command.
This removes parts of the previous explanation of the tool that are no longer
correct, and adds an explanation of '--exclude' parameter, instead.
Adds more clarity to the command, by use of '/path/to/source' to signify
source directory.
Specify that the pattern matching style of the exclude parameter is that of
gitignore's syntax.
This changes the "Proxmox Backup" hyperlink, which is referred to throughout the
