WikiSuite | Virtualmin and Syncthing for automated offsite backups

Virtualmin backups have many features, and as a destination currently offer the following options:

We will add native support for Syncthing in Virtualmin, which will permit things that none of the current options can do.

To be added to the chart

Syncthing (if configured that way) can also receive data. So it can be a way to send back a backup or other data.
Protection against crypto-locker attack, as explained here

Status as of 2023-03-07

Within the WikiSuite installer, a Syncthing installer is provided.
Once Syncthing is installed for a Virtual Server, you need to set up automated backups to a directory and use that directory for Syncthing

This all works but we want to make it easier

Spin out a Syncthing for Virtualmin app that is totally independant from WikiSuite. So you can install on any Virtualmin instance
When the app is installed, add Syncthing as an option directly along SSH, FTP, Amazon S3, etc.
